We Thrive in Uncertainty
The scene is a lecture room in a medical facility of a university.
The professor of medicine is addressing the students after completing their final exams.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he says, "I congratulate you all on completing this course. I wish you all well in your future honorable procession. That leaves only two more things to say. The first is this: half of the things I have taught you as medical facts are, in fact, false! The second is that neither I nor anyone else today knows which half! Sometimes the end of school is the beginning of true education."
