If you want a good illustration of this kind of thinking try reading "Love and Other Near-death Experiences" by Mil Millington: the central character becomes so hung-up on the possible consequences of his actions that he is pretty much socially paralyzed. It is an excellent illustration of the principle and a darn good read too. (see links)

There is also a parallel universe theory that states every possibility exists in an alternate, simultaneously developing universe - you see: brain explodes.
