Does anyone know of something that is unquestionably certain?
The sun rises every morning
Cogito ergo sum.
Iām sure about my mind.
Others are not real
By āmorningā we mean a sunrise related event, which is more of a tautology than a well-grounded empirical observation.
Are you sure they are not real or simply stating that because their existence is uncertain you choose to dismiss it altogether?
Iām sure they are my projections.
I see my self everywhere.
You?
Semantics aside, the sunās probably been the most reliable gauge for humans-- what with ancients worshipping its cycles and creating the measurement of time and all.
That and the fact that change is certain.
Iāve reached the blessed state of ataraxia. My pdoc keeps asking me what do I think about the universe, as a means to gauge my mental state.
Ataraxia according to sextus is when no affirmation or negation appear.
Is change certain?
Sextus knew his oats.
Good question
Change is the only constant, as they say.
A decent summary of the problems raised by ego cogito sum.
For some āI drink therefore I spamā would be more appropriate.
For whom?..
Just playing with the original .
