Where do we get the expectation of control? From the expectation value of a gaussian. I'm sorry if probability throws you for a loop, but we've moved on from determinism. This goes double for anything you ask a complex entity like 'society' to do for you.
If anxiety comes from not having determined answers, then so be it. Some people don't suffer anxiety on that. What's the argument, then? The fat part of the bell curve? I think we knew that already, Sherlock.
