'Another Fine Mess' and other misquotes (2020)
Held hostage by bluster and bravado on the one hand and doubt and ‘fake news’ on the other…
'Another Fine Mess' (Laurel and Hardy)
Who has too much doubt? Who doesn’t have enough? What about it is so relevant today?
Doubt (or lack of it) feels very present in our global social and political context. How does this affect us, and what can we do about it? How does one embrace the ‘…but’ and the ‘…maybe’ and the ‘…perhaps’ and delve into the heart of uncertainty grasping why it’s presented as bad?
Confronting the personal (‘what am I doing?’ ‘why am I doing this?’ ‘am I good enough?’) as well as the global (‘where is the doubt of Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian or Elon Musk?’ or ‘why does society seem to doubt science so?’). Human beings tend to respond to certainty, possibly because it’s less effort. Doubt on the other hand brings questions, some without answers, that sounds like too much hard work.
Does any of this resonate with you?
Are you a programmer or wealthy person?
Could you help me make my doubtful dreams come true?
