on certainty 193


193. What does this mean: the truth of a proposition is certain?



a proposition is a proposal –

a proposal is uncertain

and so to say –

that the truth of a proposition is certain

means that –

it is not a proposition

where you have the claim of certainty –

what you have –

is a statement masquerading –

as a proposition

or if you like –

a proposition –

that has been entirely corrupted –

by the way it is held –

by the way it is used
