Uncertainty is a Reality.
. Refusal to accept uncertainty, leads to fear.
Acceptance of uncertainty, leads to adventure.
Man is the only creature with an imagination. So he tries to peer into the future, plan outcomes in the hope of removing uncertainty. We are so intelligent that we usually fool even ourselves.
Astrologers, Political Pandits, Stock Market Analysts, Economists, etc. all make a living by crystal ball gazing and make pronouncements to placate our fears of uncertain outcomes.
The number of variables are so many that their guess is as good as anyone else. In any event whatever outcomes they project, naturally there is a 50% probability of it actually occurring, so the forecasters become believable. A slick and confident forecast which results in favourable outcomes can often fetch handsome rewards, including fame and wealth.
Usually we can afford to be adventurous but not always.
Generally speaking there is great uncertainty when dealing with Humans but very little when dealing with genuine science which has to be analysed, understood, and evidenced.
Established Science like in the fields of engineering, medicine, technology etc.one cannot afford uncertainty.
A case in point, medical mistakes kill over 252, 000 Americans each year. If they were a disease it would rank as the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA.
Living in the present while planning for the future offers happiness and peace of mind.
Our attitudes shape the quality of our lives.
