In Wildavsky's view, the notion of 'precaution' should be abandoned and replaced with a principle of 'resilience ,' based on an understanding that nature, and society, are quite able to incorporate even strong shocks, and that the ultimate dangers are therefore smaller than we are likely to fear. It would follow from Wildavsky's 'resilience' principle that people should be less concerned than they now are with the risks associated with (for example) arsenic, global warming, and the destruction of the ozone layer .
