I summarised the main pts of January's discussion about a toolkit for not-knowing here: https://vaughntan.org/NK13summary My key takeaway is that building capacity for seeing and relating to diff. kinds of not-knowing is the big and important gap ... and that learning to question is crucial for this.

Just stumbled upon this. What do you think drives the aversion to traditional philosophy or other established frames of thought when it comes to these discussions? Not-knowing has been covered in depth by many thinkers.

another thought: exploration of uncertainty is established in theory but 1) formal + informal imprecise usage continues 2) this imprecision impedes development of contingent responses i wrote about this: 1) https://vaughntan.org/overloading-and-appropriation 2) https://vaughntan.org/false-advertising

idk about aversion! my pers view (largely from sociology) is that it's a rare perspective that both a) takes diff. types of not-knowing seriously and b) investigates concrete tools for responding well to them. i'm thinking of ellsberg, knight, stark ... not as familiar with phil ā€” share a few foundational refs?
