258. I do not know how the sentence “I have a body” is to be used.
That doesn’t unconditionally apply to the
proposition that I have always been on or near the surface of the earth.
if you don’t have a use for ‘I have a body’
–
don’t use it
and if you have a conditional use for the
proposition –
‘I have always been on or near the surface
of the earth’ –
use it –
when the conditions are right
as to knowledge –
your knowledge is uncertain –
so -
keep an open mind –
on propositions –
use –
and conditions
