In this conversation Margaret Heffernan offers a critical perspective on our assumption and obsession that we can control (almost) everything. We are living in an age of big data, machine/deep learning, etc. pretending that we can predict almost everything and that these predictions empower us to control reality. M.Hefferman seriously questions these assumptions and shows how we could possibly deal and embrace uncertainty in an optimistic and future-oriented manner.
