not-knowing is a dynamic state — being conscious of not-knowing always prompts action that moves toward knowing (of something) which also means the thing not-known is continually changing. but only if not-knowing is a conscious state. a bit like a daily yoga practice.

I just posted a summary and discussion highlights from an Interintellect salon a few weeks ago about appropriation of the word "uncertainty" in AI/ML. Take a look: https://vaughntan.org/not-knowing-discussion-5-false-advertising-summary

I wrote about how our responses to not-knowing seem to cluster at two unsatisfying extremes — false confidence and uncritical capitulation — and tried to articulate how a more productive third way of relating to not-knowing could look.
