Unlike linear thinking, the default mode of the human brain, system dynamics thinks about repercussions and occasionally unintended consequences of actions.

There are so many unpredicted and often unpredictable consequences of actions in life, and much that goes undetected.

At some stage a judgment must be made on the consequences of actions, not just the rationale behind them.

To see this point perfectly, it must be observed that the bad consequences of actions are twofold, particular and general.

With the ability to predict the consequences of actions, moral laws were created, which one day grew into governed laws.
