'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.

on certainty 616


616. Why, would it be unthinkable that I should stay in the saddle however the facts bucked?



it’s not unthinkable –

however to maintain a certainty –

in the face of an uncertain reality –

is delusional
