ИСТИНА

In psychology, uncertainty is a prerequisite for decision-making in the decision-making theory (Kornilova 2015); it is associated with loss of identity (Erikson 1959; Horney 1950) or with experience in extreme situations (Vasilyuk 1984) or with a condition of creativity (Rogers 1994). The combination of peculiarities in a situation of uncertainty and personal characteristics of an individual results in different responses to that situation, such as dealing with it as a problem (Matyushkin 2017) or a situation with an unknown variable (Dorozhkin & Sokolova 2015) or a situation of frustration (Lvova et al 2016) or randomness and unpredictability (Taleb 2009). With the emergence of virtual reality and digital technology, the concept of 'uncertainty' has acquired a different meaning. The first generates fear driven by a lack of control, while the second deprives humans of the ability to demonstrate their active creativity; and together they deprive humans of their capacity as independent persons as they evolve into dependent persons. The order created by standardisation and digitalisation is a dubious attempt to make the world manageable (Chomsky 2013). In this ordered and soulless world, humans are increasingly feeling uncertain, lost and depressed (Spitzer 2014). They perceive total digital order as total digital chaos.
