Samenvatting

Uncertainty is both an important drive to pursue control and mastery, with all the potentially catastrophic global consequences that entails, as well as the drive to communicate our humanity in connection and compassion. Uncertainty reduction is possible and sometimes wanted, fi by rules and regulations. Controlling violations of such rules on social media is certainly increasingly feasible with AI, or for example to use the street cameras to capture unwanted whistling people. This brings one certainty: totalitarian technological control. Closer to 1984. We stand there and watch it happen. I believe in individual freedom, responsibility and humanity. Uncertainty is the price we have to pay for living rather than just functioning.
