We all share a common affliction. It affects some of us more than others. From birth, our brains are wired with this defect—and for one good reason: it increases our chances of survival. The problem is uncertainty, and specifically how our brains deal with it. Our brains crave certainty because only in certainty can we know that we are safe and that those we love will be safe. In times of great uncertainty, that survival instinct drives us to achieve certainty. In doing so, the brain can overreact. It can malfunction. It can drive us to act, even in times when the right thing to do is wait. ― A.G. Riddle, The Lost Colony
