Reasoning the consequences

Do you mean something as in crazy or stupid in a playful or totally irrational way or do you mean crazy or stupid in an unlawful way? Or both? Your morals and or the law should be a deterrent. You know that for every action there is a reaction. Preferably one that is of a good nature.

Remember in phych class when they taught about the id, ego, and superego? I think the superego is what was thought to be the balancing act between actions and consequences. But, if we learn from our mistakes. Doing stupid things only make us human.

Morals is the simple answer. A person needs to live with the choices that they make unless they are sociopathic. One needs to look into the mirror and be pleased with what they have before them. This life is yours, you make the choices in this and therefore are in control of how you feel each day.
Good luck,

Because of the outcome of consequences. Like if you were to do something bad you would probably imagine that, and then realize what might happen and how it will affect your life.
Hope I helped much :]]

So why not? Because doing something crazy can be harmful or destructive. If there is a bad voice in your head telling you to do something crazy, don't even listen to it. Banish it from your thoughts.

Go ahead and do something crazy and stupid and then accept the consequences. There are always consequences.

The knowledge that unpleasant consequences could follow.
If that is not a deterrent then nothing would prevent you from comitting a crime or atrocity.

The will to live.

I think it's a combination of both conscience (sp) and consequence.
