In physics, inconceivable relations, such as those found in quantum theory, are rendered harmless by declaring that certain questions can't be answered and don't need to be answered. In short, the human race is plunging itself into a new intellectual dark age, but the new orthodoxy will be, not religion, but belief in society. There is, however, an alternative to sanity. Together these might be regarded as the attributes of centralisation , which may be defined loosely as the referring of everything to an overriding central consideration. The term is introduced in Advice to Clever Children , which is mostly about the nature of centralised psychology.
Centralisation follows from consideration of the total uncertainty.
One could view centralised psychology as a developmental stage - which most people never reach. Ordinary human psychology is not prepared to accept the responsibility associated with a position in which it must make ultimately important decisions, and so it does not perceive that it is in such a position. Another way of stating the whole thing is to say that it involves feeling responsible for doing the best possible thing with one's life. Centralised states thus tend to be highly purposeful, and carry an optimistic expectation of incalculable possibilities that may be realised. After all, one of the implications of the total uncertainty is that these apparent limitations may not be permanent after all.
