on certainty 268

268. “I know that this is a hand” – And what is a hand? – “Well, this, for example.”

first up –

you can drop the ‘I know ‘ –

it’s irrelevant –

‘this is a hand’ –

will do the job

‘and what is a hand?’

‘well this for example’ –

you see the question –

if there is a question –

will be – what is ‘this’?

and it’s the right question –

because ‘this’ –

refers to – the unknown

‘this’ –

is a logical place –

for description
