There's an alternative formulation:
Don't just do something. Stand there.
The gist is the same.
o be solved, instead of simply assuming it's a problem requiring
collective solving with the only argument being how best to solve it.
I find it refreshing to think this way. I believe I first heard this
point of view articulated in this simple form by Chip Morningstar, but
it certainly is consistent with the libertarian points of view of Harry
Browne, P.J. O'Rourke, and others.
Just Say "So?"
