  1. The Tao of uncertainty

    How do you deal with uncertainty? And I mean epistemological uncertainty, as in when you just can't process something because it simply inaccesible due to uncertainty. Like, for example, intelligent people avoid certain subjects because of this process, this subconscious Occam's razor, this mental Cerberus, guarding the gates of the inner world. I can't process information when the context is not fully understood, I cannot jump into an epystemological abys, risking injury to my sanity. Usually things that I cannot process in the moment, but suspect of being true, end up stored in a corner somewhere in the back of the mind, and are summoned automatically when the epistemic uncertainty is reduced to moderate, or low-moderate. Does this sound familiar, how do you go about uncertainty, does it even matter? What does the Tao Te Ching say about this? Can one be foolishly skeptical?
