on certainty 205

205. If the true is what is grounded, then the ground is not true, nor yet false.

if the ground is neither true nor false –

it cannot be assented to or dissented from

therefore –

the ground – whatever it is –

it is not a proposition –

which is to say –

it cannot be asserted

and if so –

it has no value at all

the true is not what is grounded –

the true is what is assented to

why you assent –

to what you assent to -

is always a matter of speculation

if by ‘ground’ you mean

a basis in certainty -

‘the true’ –

is groundless
