The price of certainty is high: surrendering to a limited experience of life, designed by individuals and corporations who do not know us, whose interests are not ours. In this condition, convenience is passivity and choice obedience. . . . Every generation of human being has lived with uncertainty and unpredictability: that's how we developed our staggering human capacity for invention, discovery, improvisation, and creativity. Our ability to invent came from necessity, not comfort.
-Margaret Heffernan, Uncharted: How To Navigate The Future
