Insanity is being normalized

What if you destroy the norms and definitions that give shape to our lives and our basic understanding of the world?
There is a term used to describe how, essentially, we navigate the world day to day. We use heuristics, which is a fancy Greek term for how we parse out the world in an essentially common-sense fashion. Rules of thumb, estimates based upon experience, guesstimates, satisficing. Finding solutions that, while not exactly precise, work well enough to navigate the world successfully.
In reality, outside specific tasks that require precision, this is how we HAVE to navigate the world because there is just no way to pin everything down to the hundredth decimal on every single thing, and we haven’t the actual capacity to do so in every case because the world is far too chaotic to do so. The variables are infinite and their interactions chaotic, which makes the counsel of waiting until everything is known the equivalent of suicidal paralysis.
