  What
  interests me is the question of how humans learn to live
  with uncertainty. Before the scientific revolution determinism
  was a strong ideal. Religion brought about a denial of
  uncertainty, and many people knew that their kin or their
  race was exactly the one that God had favored. They also
  thought they were entitled to get rid of competing ideas
  and the people that propagated them. How does a society
  change from this condition into one in which we understand
  that there is this fundamental uncertainty?
