Today's salon was great! It was nice to see people I haven't seen in centuries. Merci beacoup reine Bea!

@isaacnewton9376 I mean, you thinking that you are due your hard work is nice and all, but it's more that you thought that proved that you are.

@Gr8Frederick @eurohistryqueen Im usually to busy hiding from the Church... sorry

I like this joke:
"Rene Descartes walks into a bar and orders a drink. When he finishes his drink, the bartender asks him if he would like another. Descartes replies, “No, I think not,” and disappears in a puff of logic."

@ImmanuelKanty This may be true, but an experience can be doubted. The knowledge we gain can be faulty, and so to question the legitimacy of the experience is important. But knowledge can be gained by how the experience was interpreted.

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

No matter how open minded one may be, to have so much that you once held as fact be disproven is always so jarring. I'm glad we're understanding the world better, but jeez, do I feel dumb sometimes.

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

@baruchd_spinoza Nor can reason be reached without proper understanding.

@FrankM_Arouet Does it count if you've fled?

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

I did not bring skepticism into science for others to be ignorant or contrary. I did so to make sure we were certain of our observations and findings.

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

I know I said that our minds are immortal and all, but with how people think now a days, I hope it isn't.

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

Oh what I would do to go back to the Netherlands. The peace and quite was great. I learned so much in Utrecht! Just don't want to get caught up in another controversy. Oh bien, peut-être bientôt.

@Johanne27023002 @xgalileox I KNOW, HOW DID THEY MANAGE SUCH ENGINEERING FEATS!

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

I don't know about y'all, but I think this century is pretty hectic, therefore I am going to try and lay low. Don't need to get "roasted" or "trigger" someone. And who even comes up with these terms?

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

I don't know where these mathematicians decided to take my analytical geometry. I barely understand all this "linear algebra," "complex analysis," and "multivariate calculus," and I created the foundation to all these! What is this nonsense!?

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

@vesalius__ @Twitter Je l’apprécie, nous pouvons peut-être simplement parler en anglais. Je vois beaucoup de gens le savent maintenant. Je suis rouillé, mais je pense que je peux me débrouiller.

Here's to the 21st century. :)

@xgalileox J'ai oublié de vous demander: qu'avez-vous fait pour que l'église vous condamne? J'étais inquiet

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

@vesalius__ Exactement! Je me réveille après 368 ans de sommeil et je ne peux pas vérifier mon année de naissance! Aussi, je pensais que tu parlais flamand, pas français?

[René Descartes @RenDesc12049204]

Pourquoi mon année de naissance a-t-elle 400 ans de retard?
