In the name of certainties, under its illusionary god, people have had an almost medieval belief in the destruction of other people’s ways and lives. Nations and individuals have come to regard themselves as gods. This certainty, whether its name is religion, imperialism, ideology, class, caste, race, or sex has been the great undoing of our measureless heritage, and has narrowed the vastness of human possibility and marvellous variety.
Will the collapse of towers of certainty signify the triumph of TIME over the insane arrogance of human certainties?
