I vaguely remember tweeting a half-assed thought about how most important life decisions come down to considering probabilities. You’ve of course described it beautifully.
I 100% agree with that. We obviously know how to factor "known" things into our decision making process, but it's much harder to factor unknowns into our decision making. Especially hard to factor the POSITIVE potential of unknowns into our decisions. We are so used to guarding against unknowns only.

If I were to ever have a tombstone, “the positive potential of unknowns” would be my choice of inscription. 🙂
