   Humans, know nothing and the universe does not bend to our knees. We are just a chaotic bioproduct of the universe.

   Women love uncertainty when it comes to relationships.

   One of the other challenges is that a complex truth can make us feel stupid, and the idea of deferring to an expert we don’t yet trust makes us feel vulnerable. It’s why a lot of conspiracy theories (and creation myths) are so attractive – “this person did it” is something we can always wrap our heads around, so we don’t feel threatened by the complexity.

   It’s so hard to actively suspend certainty that I’m not surprised we’re surrounded by theories.

     Would you rather not be surrounded by theories ? They essentially equate to human progress and for every conspiracy there is potentially one correct conspiracy theory ..

     Too bad people don’t even understand that the term was used as a pejorative, by the CIA for them to curtail questions about Oswald acting alone or not. I’m glad he’s a doctor and not a scientist. I don’t use doctors much nowadays, most of them are completely locked in their assumed knowledge..and yet the world is sicker each day.

      * Complex Technologies and Lack of Explanation: The speaker highlights several examples where we trust technology without a complete understanding of why it works:
      * Aerodynamics: Common explanations for why airplanes fly don’t cover all scenarios.
      * Medical Technologies: The exact mechanisms behind defibrillation and general anesthesia are still not entirely clear.
      * Self-driving Cars: A major concern is not understanding the decision-making process of autonomous machines.
      * Computer-aided Proofs: The first major mathematical theorem proven by a computer forced mathematicians to accept a proof they couldn’t verify by hand.
      * The Shift from Explanation to Prediction: In many fields, the focus has moved to prediction because it’s an easier problem than finding a full explanation. This becomes problematic in areas like the justice system, where algorithms predict future crimes without explaining the underlying reasons.
      * The Role of Explanation in Conspiracy Theories: A lack of clear explanations can create a void that conspiracy theories fill. These theories often provide simple, all-encompassing explanations for complex events.
      * The Importance of Acknowledging the Human Need for Explanation: The speaker argues that it’s crucial for scientists and experts to not just state what is true but also explain why it’s true. As the world becomes more complex, individuals need to find new ways to evaluate claims and trust experts.
      The video concludes by emphasizing the need to bridge the gap between knowing “what is happening” and understanding “why it’s happening.”

    Fascinating topic. Our brains crave certainty, even if it’s false—sometimes we’d rather have a wrong answer than sit with the unknown.🩷

    The topic and content are quite good, but the presentation and pronunciation could be improved.

    Logical fallacy…. He is guilty of what he accuses the theorists of, wanting to defend his point and not be open minded to evolve his position …. 😂 The irony is delicious, but lost on him of course….

    Too bad doctors weren’t open to understanding that sun and exercise and not being in home prison would have been a better approach ..

    Too bad they weren’t open minded (lol, as if that was the root cause…) to the possibility that the vaccines didn’t stop transmission like they repeated as nauseaum.

    This won’t age well, and if it does, we’ll be in 1984..

    I dearly wish this had been much longer. As a scientist with a deep background in philosophy (and math), I think a great deal about the need that we all have for explanation, and I used to discuss this when I was a statistics lecturer at a University. People may get the math of statistical correlations, but they need specific, causal mechanisms as well, especially when the event in question happens to *them*, specifically and directly, from automobile accidents to cancer. It seems to be a psychological epistemic necessity.

    Why? We can go deeper. Naturally experiencing uncertainty, the easily threatened & easily death anxiety triggered brain, falsely believes it is invincible and will live forever. It continually attempts to ward off thoughts of death that are non-consciously triggered by uncertainty and confusion.

    The stage backdrop at TEDxLondon, with a design placed in the center that resembles the Japanese Rising Sun flag, was used by the Japanese military during World War II. In many parts of East Asia, it is associated with Japan’s imperial history and wartime actions, and is considered offensive by some. I found it surprising to see here
