After a couple classes of philosophy; I’m back to questioning life and all of existence. If I didn’t have enough problems already. So according to great philosopher Rene Descartes we can’t trust our senses to tell us what’s real (Keep in mind I have not finished his writing’s so I don’t know the conclusion to this argument). He says we can’t trust our senses because if there is an all powerful being out there in the sky then he could be deceiving us right now of what we are seeing, tasting, touching ect. But I’m assuming you’ve all heard his more famous quote “I think, therefore I am”. Well that comes from him. Which means I must be real because I’m thinking right now. But since I can’t trust my senses how do I know what’s around me is real? HOKAY! so anyways reading his text has made ponder if what I’m seeing is really real or just a dream? Could I be sleeping right now and not really know what the “real” is? I know this all sounds very Matrix but I’m pretty sure Descartes was around before Keanu Reeves. But apparently the most real thing to Descartes is God; In the middle is humans and at the bottom is nothingness like unicorns, wizards and shit, fuck harry potter. Anyways my professor explained on a scale of hot to cold; God being the hottest. He said and I quote “We are like luke warm hamburgers from Macdonalds, God is the hottest” and then I said “So God’s a sexy bitch?”.................. Yes I know I’m a smart ass.
Thanks for reading
Peace Aaron
