446. But why am I so certain that this is
my hand? Doesn’t the whole language-game rest on this kind of certainty?
Or: isn’t this ‘certainty’ (already)
presupposed in the language-game? Namely by virtue of the fact that one is not
playing the game, or is playing it wrong, if one does not recognize objects
with certainty.
the language game rests on uncertainty
why am I so certain this is my hand?
if you are certain –
your game is the game of delusion and
deception
if you are certain about description –
you are not ‘playing the game’ –
you are corrupting it
