'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 179

179. It would be correct to say: “I believe…” has subjective truth; but “I know…” not.


all propositions are uncertain –

the subjective-objective distinction  –

is a throw back to authoritarian –

and delusional epistemology
