Learning humility with thoughtful ignorance: living with doubt...

[Yorktown]

3. "There's a peace to be found in uncertainty"

I would dare to add there is also a peace to be found in some certainties and half certainties:

• Certainties: This universe is about 13.8 Bn years old, this planet about 4.6 Bn years old and our galaxy should hit and mesh with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2 Bn years while this universe will hit terminal heat death in 10^100 years.

Therefore some peace can be found in knowing we are specks of dust lost in eons of years that will keep no trace of us: let's do the most of what we've got.

• Half certainties: in the 10^22 solar systems of this universe, I like to think there are/will be other planets with other intelligent life forms. Making a mockery of the provincialism of the existing earthly 'holy' books.

Knowing we are stardust with emotions should push us to build a better world today.

So help us the Flying Spaghetti Monster (Peace and Parmigiano be upon it)
