on certainty 378



378. Knowledge in the end is based on acknowledgement.



to know is to acknowledge –

it is to respond –

to an assertion –

with affirmation – or denial –

ok –

that is all it comes to –

I agree –

but if so –

there is no need for the term –

‘knowledge’

all you really have here is logical actions –

assertion –

affirmation – denial –

that’s the basics –

if you want to wrap the package up –

and give a description –

like ‘knowledge’ –

all very well –

but it’s just packaging  -

presentation –

and in the end –

irrelevant
