psychotherapy,..? kindly elaborate.

I'll realise that "future uncertainty", as I now put it is unclear. In information theory, if an outcome is predictable it means it's low on uncertainty. There are few factors that are influencing it. The fewer the interaction the fewer possible outcomes. So take the instance of two kids. One is healthy and gets higher education and the other is simply starving. Now ask the question of whose "future uncertainty" is the largest. Most "likey to die", or the "highest uncertainty of living" is not the same as "future uncertainty" as the near outcome of the latters future is quite certain. Hence the ambition to enlargen his or hers uncertainty.

But it does need a better, less mathematical, framing.

ps f you read Joseph Henrich's insight on social evolution, then it should be clear that neither truth nor rationality holds any sway whatsoever over us tribal beings. By design, only 10% of humanity consists of logical, abstract thinkers (Briggs NT profiles). The rest, the vast majority (the ST-SF gene pool), are primarily sentients (thus extremely short-term-narrow-minded-seeing & feeling-is-beliving) beings. Lock that into Majority Rule to be sure rationality never surfaces, and viola, you have your wasteful apes. Simply rigged for ruin.
