We form the picture of the
earth as a ball floating free in space and not altering essentially in a
hundred years. I said “We form the picture
etc.” and this picture now helps us in the judgments of various situations.
I may indeed calculate the dimensions of a
bridge, sometimes calculate that here things are more in favour of a bridge
than a ferry, etc. etc., - but somewhere I must begin with an assumption or a
decision.
yes –
a picture may be of help to us in our
judgments –
but who is to say what might be of use
here?
anything could be
any assumption or decision we make –
is uncertain
