And doing nothing will be so much better.

If the cost of doing Something is larger than the benefit then, no, doing Nothing is better.

Not at all. I'm suggesting that arguing that doing nothing is better than doing something is something people do to promote complacency, and has no place in the world.

Not necessarily. Doing something can be worse than doing nothing.

I don't mean nothing should ever change, just that sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something, and should at least be considered.

Even doing nothing would probably have a better outcome than what is being done right now.

hhshhhhjjjd | karma 29 | avg karma 1.16 · | 2024-05-20 02:44:13

Doing absolutely nothing is not optimal

fshr | karma 168 | avg karma 1.95 · | 2024-01-20 13:29:31

maybe "barely doing anything" is better than doing nothing, though?
