In our text it states: ‘Most of us hate uncertainty’, wrote the former derivatives trader Pablo Triana in 2009. ‘The unknown, the dubious, the inscrutable. Most of us despise the immeasurable. We dislike living in a world where unquantifiable vagueness can roam freely … We can’t accept that wild randomness and utter chaos may be all there is to it. We seek the comfort of order, and con ourselves into believing that someone, somewhere must have the answers, down to the third decimal.
Why do you feel individual hate uncertainty and when is uncertainty actually good?
