#Precaution

The precautionary principle is the concept allegedly offering a universal remedy to ward off every conceivable future risk by preemptively blocking invisible threats. Under the guise of preparing for unseen dangers, it justifies halting or postponing any action, doubling as a handy tool for politicians and corporations to shift blame. By exploiting scientific uncertainty, it preaches an extreme safety doctrine of banning everything dubious. In its ironic logic, it ultimately concludes that doing nothing is the safest course.
