on certainty 184


184. “It is certain that we didn’t arrive on this planet from another one hundred years ago. “ Well it’s as certain as such things are



‘as certain as such things are’ –

means in reality the matter is uncertain

what this show that the claim of certainty –

can only be regarded as –

an exercise in rhetoric
