on certainty 663

663. I have a right to say “I can’t be making a mistake about this” even if I am in error

I am certain about this even if I am in error –

so the claim of certainty –

has nothing to do with truth –

or with how the world is

and if so –

it has no logical value –

it has no content –

it is nothing more than –

it is empty rhetoric
