Uncertainty is so unsettling for us as a group, isn’t it? I struggle with that every day - trying to live without forming a conclusion that would, in any case, be wrong most of the time. In other news, I wanted to share this link with you from Courtney Cook who had a take I think you might appreciate: https://courtneycook.substack.com/p/elons-not-the-problem-we-are?r=1dh03&utm_medium=ios
So true about how humans want certainty at all costs. We, as a species, want safety so desperately that often we create prisons and loss of freedom. It makes me wonder if freedom is just too frightening for most, as it does require nuance and continually opening up more the aperture of awareness. I wonder where I am in this fear/freedom dance. Of course I want to believe I am a freedom-dancer, but I imagine I am pulled by fears in ways I don't see. And that is uncomfortable.
Josh, I was going to forward this to you but could find how. Have you seen this piece by Charlie Warzel from earlier this morning? https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/

Hooray for nuance!
