This blog NEEDS SOME LIVENING! KI is a great subject. Everyone with the slightest intellectual inclination should feel compelled to sign up for lessons! For example, Descartes says COGITO ERGO SUM! I think therefore I am! Therefore he assumes that thoughts define people. How stupid. Let's say what if thoughts exist independently of a human body? What we are thinking now would be random thoughts floating around, and merely imbued with the idea that it's connected to a solid body capable of thinking. See. Which leads us on to the Evil Demon theory. What if all we have now is an evil demon controlling our thoughts, and there is no world nor universe nor galaxy, and that these are merely artificial implementations stuck into our brains by this demon in question? (Very matrixy indeed.) Then what do we have left to define who we are? However Descartes argues for the presence of a benevolent God who wouldn't find it in Him to manipulate us as much. But! Descartes assumes! And assumptions are the number one GO-AWAYS when it comes to the topic of philosophy. So anyway. And then we have the empiricists who are ever so gaga over sensory perceptions. But that leaves another two long paragraphs to be desired.
Don't understand a single thing I just said? Moral of the story. Take KI.
