Suppose someone asked me “What does it mean to play a private game of chess with oneself” & I answered: “Anything, because if I said that I was playing a game of chess I would be so
convinced || sure that I was that I would stick to what I said whatever anyone else anyhow say.”
Under what circumstances would we say that he did what we call portraying & under what circumstances that he called something portraying which we didn't call that? Suppose here we said: Well I can never know what he does inwardly would this be anything than resignation?
