Quantifying resilience under deep uncertainty

Abstract

Propositions1. The use of single metrics will not progress our research on resilience. (this thesis) 2. Scenarios for decision support should be based on plausibility, not probability. (this thesis) 3. Discoveries should not be named after their discoverer(s). 4. The most significant questions in artificial intelligence research can only be answered by philosophers. The widespread availability of Large LanguageModels such as ChatGPT will increase the rate of societal in-person interactions. 6. Uncertainties and simplifications should be emphasized more when communicating scientific advances to the general public.
