We instinctively trust those who claim to tame not-knowing or protect us from it. The people and institutions who manage our money, govern our countries, and build our tools want and need our trust — so they often claim to have good methods for dealing with uncertainty. Should we be more skeptical of these claims? In this salon, we'll explore this question together.

<ol>
 	<li data-line="0">What are some of the methods used by economics, psychology, and computer science to deal with uncertainty? Do they do what they claim?</li>
 	<li data-line="1">How do these methods shape systems that affect our daily lives — such as banking, investment, government, news, and software?</li>
 	<li data-line="2">Why do we place so much trust in mathematical "solutions" to the problem of not-knowing?</li>
 	<li data-line="3">Why don't we trust people and organisations that are honest about not-knowing?</li>
</ol>
