on certainty 254


254. Any ‘reasonable’ person behaves like this.



the question is –

can you know how people behave?

can you say with certainty ?

sure – you can take a punt –

we all do –

but there is no certainty in this

and what do you say –

when a different view is proposed?

as for ‘reasonableness’ –

isn’t that just –

a piece of rhetoric –

designed –

to make it look as if –

your view  has –

some basis to it –

other than –

your assertion of it?
