I don't know if I'd go with "careful"; for example I strongly reject the
precautionary principle as it's commonly applied to stifle technological and economic growth. I'd call myself "Hayekian" or "dynamist" in that I believe the decentralized actions of individuals produce superior results to central planning.
I don't know if I'd go with "careful"; for example I strongly reject the precautionary principle as it's commonly applied to stifle technological and economic growth. I respect your point, but I don't feel the need to parse words so closely.
For me, 'careful' says it all. Not that I'm pathologically careful, or afraid of change. But just cautious.
