Introduction. Uncertainty is a part and a consequence of thinking more geometrico, which is the basis of the modern age. It is necessary to return to things themselves, to substantive thinking, and to life from one’s own source. Reasonable knowledge in education is rooted not only in the ontological emergency, but also in deictic digital thinking, which has a nominalistic basis, where brands play a decisive role, where a true statement is represented by one, and a false statement is represented by zero. In this subtle way, the truth becomes a brand to which one can add everything that claims to power. The devastation of the essence of human thought, caused by the rational type of mental operations and techniques, is noted. The purpose of the study is to find the foundations of a reliable (certitudo) mental analysis based on the things themselves, and not just on the idea of correctness (orthotes). The methodology for studying uncertainty in education is based on the scientific and philosophical work of M. Heidegger, J. Pyatochka, T. G. Masaryk, H. Arendt, who developed the principle of “Measure of things”, due to the phenomenon of “das Gestell”. Discussion. The principle of “Measure of things” in education is both artificial and voluntary, since, starting with Antiquity, it has served as a methodology for criticizing rationalism associated with the introduction of digital technologies into education, generating the phenomenon of “digital thinking”, “flat thinking”, “geometric thinking”, “uncertainty in education” and other fields. Learning with the use of digital technologies completely deprives pupils and students of the opportunity to concentrate, because the intention of perceiving information is fragmented. Thus, the thought processes return to the computer game, which in principle is a typical children’s delight. Conclusion. Planning for the future of education is done by planning with numbers. Today it has reached its climax, thanks to the huge role of computer philosophy in the entire life of society. Politicians, officials and lawyers must realize that education is not a pragmatic-objective process, it cannot be regulated by market goals and values.
