First, or course, comes the Declaration of Independence Then we had the Declaration of Singularity The came the Declaration of Amazing But maybe we’ve been doing our Declarations wrong. Are we putting the cart before the horse? The DoI announced the beginning of the United States as an entity, but it didn’t settle the matter. It took an ugly, bloody revolution to do that. Maybe what we need is a declaration of radical uncertainty--meaning that we don’t really know for sure what’s going on and that we can’t reliably say what’s going to happen next. Let’s not be too quick to rule things out. (We should think in terms of what is more and less likely,) There are many possible futures in play -- good and bad. Risks: we don’t know for sure what we’re doing and there’s always unintended consequences. Greater risks: keep pretending we know what we’re doing and bring on disaster anyway. Or maybe just a mediocre future when we could have had an amazing one.
