Choosing nothing, and getting exactly that in return.
means The state of doing nothing when something could or perhaps should be done.
from Built from the Latin prefix 'in-' (not) plus 'actio' (a doing, a putting into motion), itself from 'agere' (to drive, to act, to do) — the same root that gives us 'act,' 'agent,' and 'agenda.' So inaction is literally 'un-doing' in the most structural sense: not the undoing of something made, but the simple negation of making anything happen at all.
- still a choice
- doing nothing is itself a decision
- compounding cost
- delayed decisions quietly accrue interest
- default outcome
- inaction lets other people decide for you
