Desire, data, and doubt-the sacred fundamentals of human interaction
Briefly

"Desire brings the participants together. Data sets the limits of their dialogue. Doubt frames the questions." This idea suggests that all interactions are influenced by these three fundamental aspects, akin to three legs supporting a table.
Herbert’s concept of the 'agreement tripod' encapsulates how human interactions and decisions are structured, emphasizing the balance between desire, the data available, and the doubts that arise during the decision-making process.
Consider a simple scenario: wanting tea is the desire. Deciding which type of tea to make involves analyzing the options available—reflecting the role of data in decision-making.
Ultimately, Herbert argues that whether digital or non-digital, human behavior hinges on these components, illustrating a universal framework for understanding choices and interactions.
