on certainty 303

303. If, for example we have always been miscalculating, and twelve times twelve isn’t a hundred and forty-four, why should we trust any other calculation? And of course that is wrongly put.

to calculate – is to play a game –

a game of sign substitution

if you play the game –

you accept the rules of the game –

there is no question of a mistake –

you either play the game –

according to it’s rules –

or you don’t play the game –

and if you don’t play the game –

you don’t – calculate –

simple as that
