❝Again, in a ship, if a man were at liberty to do what he chose, but were devoid of mind and excellence in navigation (αρετης κυβερνητικης), do you perceive what must happen to him and his fellow sailors?❞

— Plato • Alcibiades • 135 A

Ich hatte eine Reise nach #Ashby geplant, um zu sehen, ob ich einen Blick auf eine bestimmte Dame werfen könnte, aber ich musste meine Pläne ändern und werde stattdessen nach Burton gehen.

❝And if he is told that something is the way it is, then he thinks: Well, it could probably just as easily be some other way. So the sense of possibility might be defined outright as the capacity to think how everything could “just as easily” be, and to attach no more importance to what is than to what is not.❞
