'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 29


29. Practice in the use of a rule also shews what is a mistake in its employment



practice in the use of a rule –

will show that despite any rhetoric –

of correct use or mistaken use –

the rule is nothing more than a proposal –

and it’s application – is uncertain
