“We need, in facing an unpredictable future, unpredictable minds” that are “comfortable with navigating ambiguity, uncertainty”, British author Margaret Heffernan argues in her DLD Munich 2020 talk. After all, she says, we are “more than data, more than numbers, and we have freedom – if we remember to use it.”
