I'd be fairly certain about that. Humans have to get used to the very high level of uncertainty that accompanies any authentic action. By "authentic action" I mean action that is not the clone of some other action or "tried and tested" process, but the honest attempt to design a way forward with limited knowledge and no guarantee of success. Interestingly, humans never do get used to the enormous uncertainty surrounding their existence. Humans crave certainty before acting but reality, by it's very nature denies them this luxury. The choice to have a chicken burger may indeed be complicated by salmonella but there is no fail safe way of knowing beforehand. Kim Kim Jones B. Mus.
