MAYBE
1 generation or so until the shit starts all over again and older humans start making younger humans think that they are right (in essence) simply because they feel or believe so.

This made me think that I should create a programming language with a keyword "MAYBE" (kind of like an IF-THEN-MAYBE) loop. Programming the uncertainty principle...

Such a language was proposed in the late 60's. It had several interesting commands beside the MAYBE branch. For instance DWIM (do what I mean) and the COME_FROM control flow command to complement the traditional GO_TO. Also included was NCH (never come here) which, at the time, was often simulated via the IF(FALSE) clause. Least popular feature was STAC (shred tape and crash).
