360. I KNOW that this is my foot.
I could not accept any experience as proof to the contrary. – That may be an
exclamation; but what follows from
it? At least that I shall act with a certainty that knows no doubt, in
accordance with my belief.
the ‘I KNOW’ here – is an exclamation of refusal –
a refusal to budge from a position
he has no idea what experience may come his
way –
he doesn’t know –
but he says he will not regard any
experience –
as proof against his statement
the fact of it is –
there is no proof in experience –
and the experience that has led him to
utter this exclamation –
is no proof of anything either –
like any experience –
it is open to question – open to doubt
in making his statement –
he is simply refusing to face uncertainty –
to deal with uncertainty –
to face experience
yes –
he will ‘act with a certainty’ –
the certainty that is –
stupidity
