Not a loss, but it is a lack. You can't have perceived autonomy without certainty.
- kstenerud 2y agoThe same could be said of * Buying a lottery ticket * Moving to a new city and you hope you can find a decent job * Having to choose a different brand of milk at the store because they're out of your regular one * Starting on a new TV series and you hope it's not shit * Organizing a party and you hope nothing goes wrong But it's not at all the same "threat" feeling.
