Why So Frightened of a Proposed Solution?

At this point, what ‘unintended’ consequences could be worse?

Many people are scared of what is coming, culturally/politically and materially/environmentally. I know I am.

I have developed solutions for both problems. [“Can’t Get Any Simpler;” “A Most Beneficial Economic Change”] As far as I am aware, no one has advocated publicly even once for either.

Why?

It does make sense to be cautious about proposed solutions. ‘Unintended consequences’ have been a bugaboo of the most well-intentioned efforts of human beings.

Given what we can see is coming, however — as plainly as an ink-black cloud on a clearly visible horizon — what unforeseen consequences of my proposed solutions for avoiding that fate could be worse than what we know we are about to experience if we fail to do something way, way different than what we are now doing?
