maybe doublethink is good maybe if the truth is too easily subverted it's good to fence it around with lies that you have to pretend to believe or be punished damned hard to believe it though

I keep going over in my mind the difference between believing something you don't know for certain to be true versus disbelieving something you have nearly certain evidence that it is true

the difference between believing something you don't know for certain to be true and treating something you don't know for certain to be true as true provisionally is also interesting

the difference there is...? the degree of vigor of your faith? provisional belief is deliberately thin faith?

if the thickness is zero is it still faith? we're immersed in things where we have to pick a working position just to operate, how often do we unnecessarily invest that choice with faith?

the limit case is faith ---> hypothesis as thickness goes to 0.
