The arbitrary, however, has no relation to evidence or context; neither term, therefore - "true" or "false" - can be applied to it. Philosophically, the arbitrary is worse than the false. The false has a relation, albeit negative, to the facts of reality...As to the practical consequences of this difference, whom would you prefer to work for, talk to, or buy groceries from: a man who miscounts the people in his living room (an error), or who declares that the room is filled with demons (the arbitrary)?Share
