In Ancient Greece, at the Temple of Apollo, three maxims of critical importance were inscribed. And one of these three, the one I’m most interested in at the moment, read, “certainty brings ruin.” And in Ecce Homo, Nietzsche wrote, “It is not doubt, it is certainty which makes mad…But to feel in this way one must be profound, abyss, philosopher…We all fear truth…” Even Socrates said that all he knew was that he didn’t know. So it seems that the wise are united in at least one quality: they refuse to be certain. OUR COURSES _ Coming soon. Sign up to my newsletter to be notified when they release. OUR MERCH _ Coming soon.
