To oversimplify, I think the default posture in western society has become "let's not do anything, in case it goes wrong".
People who think like that are seen as serious people who don't foolishly ignore all possible negative consequences.
I, as the reader might guess by now, don't have high hopes for societies that function this way.

If you actually take the phrase "reasonably forseeable" seriously, I assure you, chasing down those nasty little details and feeding them through the math takes a hot minute.
