Young people have too many emotions and can’t be trusted with decision-making, the country’s minister of climate change, Ali Shareef, last year told a public forum.

    Not really, you neglect time as a factor. Sometimes things are stuck and only short term solutions that are objectively worse are acceptable.

    Also look up tautology, the word change does not have any inherent value, therefore you are using that wrong. ;)

      Having studied formal logic, I’m well aware of what a tautology is. It is a statement logically equivalent to A = A.

      Relevance here: a bad outcome is a bad outcome (regardless whether it happens now or later).

        Well if you studied it that still doesn’t make it true. ;) a bad outcome is not the same as a net loss vs a short term loss.

        Different example. Sometimes there is no good / better choice, but it’s imperative that someone chooses, randomly if necessary. No choice would lead to another kind of problem.

        Hence decision paralysis for example.
