We are in the Age of Probability, which is the closest we can get to Truth, lest we retreat to commitment to Falsehoods.
I dimly recall writing a blog post titled "The probabalistic age", but apparently not, I conflated https://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2005/12/24/anti-authoritarian-age/ and https://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2007/04/21/probabalistic-estate/
Seems I never blogged about "The Retreat to Commitment", too bad. Delightful book. https://archive.org/details/retreattocommitm00bart
