'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 78



78. And can I give a reason why it isn’t?



why  isn’t there greater certainty –

as a result of more checking?

there is no certainty to begin with

and just by the by –

you are either certain or you are not –

‘greater certainty’ –

is just putting a spin on –

uncertainty
