dear Axil,

about my friendly dispute with Freeman Dyson please see my essay:

http://fqxi.org/data/essay-contest-files/Gluck_essay.gluck1.pdf

"Then, in 2004 a great scientist has formulated the idea of interestingness
in a bright way:
"I propose that our universe is the most interesting of all
possible universes, and our fate as human beings is to make it so." [1] By
a
friendly discussion on the Internet with Freeman Dyson, we could state that
we have discovered this idea independently, I have used secular thinking
while he has used his religious vision of the world. This exchange has
reinforced my conviction that interestingness s fundamental and I have the
task to investigate both its high level significance and applications in
human
existence.
Science and spirituality are converging in the idea that an endlessly
interesting world is a huge creative opportunity for Humanity to build a
great future.
The path to practical applications is a tortuous „obstacled‟ way.

Uncertainty of/in science is also related to the idea of Pareto truths.
