The uncertainty principle: practical implications of theoretical naiveté

“Living on our planet, today, requires a lot more imagination than we are made to have. We lack imagination and repress it in others”. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Having traveled too far above in the clouds, we need to get back to earth. This time we will explore what science and philosophy of history has to teach us about the influence of probability and uncertainty in our lives. You will learn to distrust experts and to think independently from the so-called «conventional wisdom». Do you have enough courage to stare into the abyss?  Please join us on Friday, September 2 at 7 p.m., in our attempt to demystify science and uncover how it helped shape our civilization and us! Led by Alex Martya.
