@NickSzabo4 An exception to this rule is computer science, where we can objectively reason about low-probability computations.
Long shots happen all the time, but worrying about them is futile. The ones that happen are almost always possibilities few thought of.

@UTXOs Probabilities of rare events vary widely, and are usually unknown due to lack of information.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@NickSzabo4 You talking about low prob events or true knightian uncertainty? -
@csentropy Knightian uncertainty, which is vastly more common than a predictably low prob. event, but often gets called such in hindsight. -
@NickSzabo4 It appears this "true uncertainty" in the human domain is the result of the existence of free will. What do you think? -
@csentropy Also due to chaos, quantum randomness, and sheer complexity well beyond the ability of mere brains to understand. -
@NickSzabo4 In that case, decentralized autonomy is the fastest way to adopt to an uncertain future. Case against central economic planning
