on certainty 187

187. “Do you know that the earth existed then?” – “Of course I know that. I have it from someone who certainly knows all about it.”

this makes it perfectly clear –

that the ground of ‘knowledge’ –

is a supposed authority –

and all that amounts to –

is someone’s assertion –

or rhetoric –                                                                                                                                  

and someone else’s –

gullibility
