'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 266

266.  And here one would still have to say what are compelling grounds.



yes –

you can say whatever you like here –

in whatever way you like –

all you are doing is making assertions

with the idea of eliciting –

someone’s assent
