I read half and will finish in a bit. The question reminds me of this book.
We guess at many things, based on our experiences and ability to recognize patterns. (<- Something I believe and can't prove but sits well.) It's a survival process we apply to more weighty matters where time doesn't allow for data collection and deep consideration.
How do we know when we say goodbye to our loved ones, partners, children, each time, that they will be okay until we see them again? We don't. But if we didn't believe that, we would follow them around all day every day, and that's no good for anyone. So we trust in something that could be dead wrong for the chance of a better life.
