It takes an even more special mind to pretend we know all the consequences, to assume our knowledge is complete and that there are no unknowns.

Ah when something is 99.999% good let’s concentrate on the 0.001% that is bad.

Everything has consequences, including not doing something. If we didn’t act because of the “unknown” we would still be living in caves.
