'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 198


198. Rather we must first determine the role of deciding for or against a proposition.



if we decide for a proposition –

it is actionable – it’s live –

it is usable

if we decide against it –

we don’t act on it –

it’s dead weight –

it’s of no use

we drop it
