Better Left Alone?
Not every false belief is a mistake.
What is the difference between a mistake and a mental disturbance?
A mistake does not only have a cause, it also has a ground.
The truth of my statements is the test of my understanding of these statements.
The truth of certain empirical propositions belongs to our frame of reference.
If I make certain false statements, it becomes uncertain whether I understand them.
—Ludwig Wittgenstein
These statements about language, belief, and truth came to mind in reference to the current occupant of the White House.
