Recognizing Certainty in Uncomfortable Uncertainty

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Every day we face uncertainty, unless one subscribes to a hypothesis that our lives are entirely predetermined. Even as websites and artificial intelligence improve our ability to predict the future, an omnipresent variability remains. We may know that traffic will be heavy during tomorrow morning's commute; however, will there be an accident that snarls traffic? We may know that it will rain on Sunday afternoon, but will it hold off until after your child's baseball game? We can plan our workday calendars and to‐do lists in great detail, but we can never be certain when a machine will go down or a customer have an urgent need.
