For generations, civilization had no choice but to swim in risk. It would injure and kill and also propel. Scientific discoveries, full throat-ed capitalism; it was and is a part of a DNA. What do you lose when you spend most of your time eliminating risk? To over analyze each decision is to swim breathlessly to the shores of safety, wherever that is. When you spend all of your time de-risking, you attempt to control the uncontrollable future, rather than riding it. You stymie your own inner compass; you retard growth embedded in your very DNA. Instead of de-risking decision making, one would do better by just closing their eyes and taking steps forward. And then another. And then another.
