A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

He tries to build further knowledge around it, e.g. using it to claim God exists. But it doesn't really work, and at the end of the day you get stuck into the "I know that I exist because I think." and nothing else.
Oh sure, the stuff he argued after doesn’t really hold up, but I’ve always had the sense that it would have been dangerous for him to suggest that God isn’t real at the time, and he maybe wouldn’t have made such arguments had he born in modern times.
This is just a personal opinion, but I think you can really see this in a lot of the western philosophers from the past centuries. A lot of the texts and ideas read like tiptoeing around it, like "haha yeah... sure god is real! despite all these things I'm saying that might suggest otherwise... but of course he's real and these ideas actually support the conclusion! really!"
That's a fair point.
