Chuckles, there's nothing high brow about it and I wouldn't presume to group you with anyone.

By reference to Soros you not only got a Googleable item that allowed you to spend as much time as you cared to on the subject, but you got a good example of how that mentality plays out.

To challenge certainty, be it as outright challenge or through the notion of balance/compromise, is to challenge Man's ability to reason. That always leads to Statism -- sooner or later.

The Q isn't can we know something with certainty, but how do we establish certainty? (The convenient consequence of the POV on "your" side is that it focusses mental effort on motives, persona, self-perception, etc., not on a search for the truth(s) of the issue at hand.)

I thought we'd worked that out - I'll presume what ever I want, you rant and rave incoherently all you want.
