Humans have to understand the world around them, to a certain extent, in order to function. This is because deciding what actions to take requires at least some understanding.
Taking no action at all and letting things play out is deciding not to act which is an action in itself.
Many people not acting are doing so because they don't understand the current situation and are hesitant to do anything that might negatively impact them later. They view the action of inaction less harmful than if they were to act without knowing "the rules".
So yeah that's where we're at.
