on certainty 643

643. Admittedly one can imagine a case – and cases do exist – where after the ‘awakening’, one never has any more doubt which was imagination and which was reality. But such a case, or its possibility, doesn’t discredit the proposition “I can’t be wrong”.

the fact that you might not doubt –

does not mean that there can be no doubt

furthermore –

there is no right or wrong –

what we face is uncertainty

any description –

any proposal – any proposition –

is open to question –

open to doubt

the statement  –

‘I can’t be wrong’ –

is a claim of certainty –

it denies propositional reality –

it is a statement of –

and an argument for –

ignorance
