Embrace Complexity to Justify Inaction

The tendency to present multiple complex problems as excuses allows individuals to evade responsibility and delay action. When faced with a single challenge, there is an expectation to resolve it, but the presence of many interwoven issues creates a protective barrier against accountability. This complexity serves as a psychological safeguard, providing a rationale for inaction by obscuring the need to address any one problem, since fixing everything at once is perceived as unfeasible.
