'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 207


207. “Strange coincidence that every man whose skull has been opened had a brain!”



‘brain’ is a description –

without description – ‘brain’ – or any other –

what you find when you open a  man’s skull –

is the unknown
