Description

I get it. You hate uncertainty. But, did you know that your brain actually thrives on uncertainty?

Just imagine trying to explain to someone from 1974 how we book an airline ticket, select our seat, pass through TSA and board a commercial aircraft all without touching a single piece of paper or speaking to another human.

Yet, we’ve all enhanced our lives despite all this change. Why? Because we secretly love uncertainty.
