Drakron-Is there something wrong,buddy?

You're pretty definite about that, you know. If you don't exist, how can you be sure about anything, including your lack of existence?

Cogito ergo zum, Drak

I..um agree CE

I think, there for I am???
(never had latin at school, so I'm a bit rusty in it )

If a SYM'er spams in the forrest, and nobody is around, will the SYM'er make a sound

Correct, Xandax, even if the Latin word "cogito" does not really mean "think", it means "percept, sense". So Cartesius meant something like "I have sensory perceptions, therefore I exist".

(I don't know Latin either, but I know Wester philosophy.)

I sense, therefore I am.
Cognito could be deviated into conscious (cognisant)

It could? I didn't know that, I'm sure you're right. Latin words are not only problematic because I don't know Latin they are even worse because the "scholar latin" in Europe deviated far from both the Mediveal Latin of the church, and even further from the classic Latin.

I just used an english dictonary, and wupti - cognisant as an thesarus of conscious.

I don't know much latin at all, clasic or any thing, just what I can see looks and sounds like english words.

Have you heard Monty Python's "philosophy song"? I love it

"And Rene Descart
was a drunken fart
I drink therefor I am"

Sorry double post.

Anyway, Xandax, I love the Bruce University sketch

The skecth is pretty long so I'll just post this

Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshe as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shanty was
particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
