THIS... is a doubting thread!→[More:] ...or is it?
Whatever I have up till now accepted as most true I have acquired either from the senses or through the senses. But from time to time I have found that the senses deceive, and it is prudent never to trust completely those who have deceived us even once.
What gives you the authority to make that assertion? Maybe this isn't a "doubting thread". Maybe it's a conversation, a "Web page", lit and unlit pixels, 0s and 1s, a conundrum, a snipe... the mind boggles!
