  • Uncertainty exists in all forms of education and learning. It is not mostly celebrated. In fact, it is suppressed.

      Yes, this is exactly the point James Scott makes when he creates the binary of legible/illegible where the suppression of uncertainty is the definition of legibility.
  • It is even systematically constrained in other (non-traditional) environments, even informal ones at most times.

      I think you are pointing to the embodied and cognitive biases that are part of being a human being?
  • Not all certainties may be “good” or “appropriate”.

      I am thinking here of Nicolas Taleb's ultimate uncertainty, the unknown unknown, the Black Swan. I think that most suppression of uncertainty arises from the futile attempt to quell Black Swans and their evolutionary disruption.

      Is democratizing uncertainty like trying to formalize the informal?
  • We shall also need to “prove” in many ways, that more “good” uncertainty in the system will impact social outcomes positively.

      Seems like predictability is worming its way into your discussion of uncertainty. Uncertainty is largely complex and unmanageable. Should we be focusing more on the processes and products that emerge from uncertainty? I don't think we can do a whole lot more than that, but I am certainly open to being informed more on this.

      Perhaps your last paragraph addresses obliquely what I asked above.
