208. I have a telephone conversation with New York. My
friend tells me that his young trees have buds of such and such a kind. I am
convinced that his tree is…And I am also convinced that the earth exists.
why?
why not just take what your friend says –
without all the baggage?
what you are convinced of –
is what you don’t question –
and in any case –
it is irrelevant
to the proposition –
put to you
like any baggage you carry –
it too –
is open to question –
open to doubt –
uncertain
