'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 644


644. For otherwise wouldn’t all assertion be discredited in this way?



this is not about –

discrediting an assertion –

or alternatively – 

crediting it

it is about recognizing –

that any assertion –

is open to question –

is open to doubt –

is uncertain
