A short conversation between Einstein and Decart

Rene: I think therefore I am.

Albert: Rene my dear chap, you are specifically correct however generally wrong.

  1. Gosh! I was rummaging around Isaac Newton and found talk of "the literal interpretation of the Bible. Henry More's belief in the Universe and rejection of Cartesian dualism may have influenced Newton's religious ideas.". This lead me to 'Philosophy of Mind', reminding me of your recent '2nd order learning' & existentialism chatter.

    So, I come here to write something - and lo - I find you're, already, spontaneously exacting-the-Michael from Descartes (a key player in Dualism).

    BTW: It's René.
