Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. To build for man a world without fear, we must be without fear. To build a world of justice, we must be just. And how can we fight for liberty if we are not free in our own minds? How can we ask others to sacrifice if we are not ready to do so?... Only in true surrender to the interest of all can we reach that strength and independence, that unity of purpose, that equity of judgment which are necessary if we are to measure up to our duty to the future, as men of a generation to whom the chance was given to build in time a world of peace.

 

Dag Hammarskjöld - 1953

"There is no certainty. Rational people do not bet the ranch on a model with an [R-squared] of less than 1.00, that works out only for the most part. And God forbid it works out only for the minor part! Consequences, not probabilities, determine the decisions that matter."

-- Peter Bernstein

What an idiotic quote. There is no such thing as 100% certainty. No one has anything close to perfect information.

By that rationale there is no such thing as 100% negative certainty, then, either. So that would make the consequences of a decision pretty important, no matter how small the chances.

Swing and a misunderstanding of consequences. Perhaps re-read.
