Navigating Uncertainty in Crisis

This chapter examines the psychological and societal dimensions of uncertainty during global crises, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses the nature of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty and how both impact decision-making, mental health, and perceptions of risk. The conversation also explores the Ellsberg Paradox and the effects of secularism on humanity's relationship with the unknown, emphasizing the need for resilience and trust in an unpredictable world.
