In other words, if you have already decided that truth
is unattainable or unknowable, then the game is fixed isn't it?


Greg, you know that this is true to a degree. Even though things that you THINK you are certain of, I would counter you only have some probability of knowing. Like your belief in God - isn't there one tiny itsy bits teeny weeny possibility that you are wrong? Haven't you ever awakened feeling disoriented thinking it was Monday and it was Saturday? Despite objective proof that sometimes we are mistaken or confused I'm sure you still think your faith is absolute. I don't know how you get there. And no, how does uncertainty "fix the game" as you put it? Unless you mean ruling out absolute belief, then that part of the game is fixed. Yes, as individuals we should do what we want and it is only in groups or as our actions impact others that that must be bridled.
