'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.

382. That is not to say that nothing in the world will in fact be able to convince me of anything else.



the problem here is the idea of being convinced –

if you are convinced of anything –

you have missed the point
