Uncertainty
Question
If you could briefly present here the reasons for your belief in uncertainty, or a link to the topic on the site. Thank you in advance.
Answer
I didn’t understand. What does “my belief in uncertainty” mean?
Discussion on Answer
Briefly: because we have no tool whatsoever that can give us certainty. A logical proof relies on basic assumptions. Observation is never certain. And there is no other tool. I’m not talking about prophecy, because I’ve never experienced that. I’m talking about people like me and you.
Thanks so much. Why is prophecy certain?
*certainty
Who said it’s certain? I said I’m not addressing that, because I don’t know it.
You’ve said more than once that there is no certainty about anything, and that you know with certainty.
