René Descartes

I sit in a room for six days, completely alone.

Massive Existential Crisis #1891: Was scrolling through twitter and my phone spoke to me, does this mean it has a mind of it's own? #phi102 #claimedtobeasiri #doihaveafreewill

@UnLockeTheTruth @HonestHume @thephil84206162 @subjective_the @neinphilosophy @SomberSchopenh1 when will my fellow philosophers learn how to spell? Clear writing is crucial for the communication of ideas. #phi102 #askingforafriend #grabadictionary

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Precisely; except we actually can verify God, albeit not empirically. He is crucial to our reasoning and we can verify him through reason. #phi102

[thephilosopherswalk @thephil84206162]

@Deez_cartes We cannot empirically verify god, yet we cannot dismiss the idea because it is crucial to our reasoning completely #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

@SomberSchopenh1 @thephil84206162 @subjective_the @HonestHume @neinphilosophy @UnLockeTheTruth I’ll pass, I’ll just sit in my room instead #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

We gave you something to categorize in the first place, what can I say i'm inspiring 💁‍♀️#phi102 #yourewelcome #wewerethefirst

[thephilosopherswalk @thephil84206162]

By not meticulously categorizing concepts, the philosophers before me barbarically fell into the trap of making a single concept the jack-of-all trades. Looking at you @HonestHume, @Deez_cartes and @UnLockeTheTruth #barbarism #figureitout #phi102

Massive Existential Crisis #102: In light of new reason, not sure if i can rely on my memories #phi102 #yikes

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

I'm not compulsive, I don't spend hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours doing geometry. At the end of all of that at least I know i'm not dreaming, what do you know? #phi102 #notcompulsiveatall #ilovemath

[The SubJective tRUTH @subjective_the]

@neinphilosophy @Deez_cartes Im confused as to what the point here is? God is a being we can only support through faith. Faith, in a world we cannot "prove", is as reasonable as any logic until evidence can prove it wrong. Perhaps you should attack his compulsive need to prove God to others. #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Neither you or I doubt the existence of God. You are following blindly; I, however, have provided reasoning #phi102 #yourspellingisnottheonlythingiattacked

[The SubJective tRUTH @subjective_the]

@Deez_cartes Perhaps if you had spent less time alone in a room and more time searching for meaning in your life you would be at peace with the idea that faith alone can sustain the idea of God. Since my spelling is the only thing you can attack, then you admit my reasoning is sound. #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

The innate ideas that I have accessed allow me a greater span of intellectual reasoning that help me to say that God is not imagination but truth #phi102 #reasonvsimagination #godisnotdead

[Friedrich Nietzsche @neinphilosophy]

@Deez_cartes #phi102 #neitzschestrikesagain

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Without reason, you couldn’t guarantee that those experiences exist. Perhaps I should not have gone so far in my meditations, so I could go on thinking you aren’t really here 😴 #phi102 #closethedoorimtryingtothink

[John Locke @UnLockeTheTruth]

Reason is connected to experiences, and the logical conclusion of our experiences. @Deez_cartes would miss me if I was a blank slate again, then I couldn’t get you outside of your head once in a while. Remember to practice self care. #phi102 #FriendshipIsAnOpenDoor

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

I don’t need faith, because I have already proved my ideas through reason. My knowledge is not blind. Frankly I’m just tired of YOU wasting MY time 🤷‍♀️ #phi102 #dontargueifyoucantspell

[The SubJective tRUTH @subjective_the]

@Deez_cartes If you have doublted them to undoublability, why should you care if we waste our time doubting you? You fear, because deep down you don't know if they will hold our attacks. I would say have faith, but I know that is hard for you.

We can't be certain of reality until we are certain of the instrument we use to look at it #phi102 #reality

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Massive Existential Crisis #23: Every doubt leads me to another doubt, which then causes me to doubt all of my doubts #phi102 #doubt #rabbithole

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

When you base your knowledge on blind loyalty and commitment to others, you become a non-rational being. You must only gain knowledge from your own rational thinking, otherwise you are only memorizing, you are not truly learning. 🤔#phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

My foundations have withstood the entire process of methodic doubt, thus they are undoubtable. There is no reason for you to doubt me any further. #phi102 #stopattackingme

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

You, sir, are being deceived - we can only rely on our own reason, as our senses are fallible. You’d be better off as a blank slate 🤷‍♀️ #phi102 #leavemealone

[John Locke @UnLockeTheTruth]

All of our ideas come from our external stimuli and our interpretations of them. So... Maybe leave your room once and awhile and experience something?? 💁‍♀️😏@Deez_cartes #Logoff #Roasted #Empiricist #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Almost everything in existence is a contingent existence - that includes my existence, and yours. You cannot deny that there is a connection between cause and effect in this way. #phi102 #yourideasareHUMErous #cantevenspellyourownphilosophy

[David Hume @HonestHume]

One cause could produce many results, and one result could be led by often several causes. The one-to-one correspondence between cause and effect is derived from a man's misconception and natural habit😐@Deez_cartes @thephil84206162

Massive Existential Crisis #7: Day 5 of being locked in room, considering the existence of God for a second time #phi102

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Must be a sad existence confining yourself to your own limited experiences @HonestHume #phi102 #someofuswerebornwithideas #micdrop

[René Descartes @Deez_cartes]

Does one really die if the mind continues to exist, despite the body 🤔 #phi102 #mindovermatter #depressingmuch
