217. If someone supposed that all our all our calculations were uncertain and
that we could rely on none of them (justifying himself by saying that mistakes
are always possible) perhaps we would say he is crazy. But can we say he is in
error? Does he not just react differently? We rely on calculations, he doesn’t;
we are sure, he isn’t.
propositional reality –
is an uncertain reality –
therefore –
what we face is uncertainty –
not error
if you recognize that you operate –
in uncertainty –
there are no mistakes
and in an uncertain reality –
you make assumptions –
and you run with them –
recognizing full well –
that they are open to question –
open to doubt
those who profess certainty –
are talking rhetoric –
not logic –
they are either deluded –
or perpetrating a deception
I don’t need certainty –
to use a calculation
