-THE BITCOIN ISLAND LIFE-

Rene Descartes

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."

"René Descartes (born March 31, 1596, La Haye, Touraine, France—died February 11, 1650, Stockholm, Sweden) was a French mathematician, scientist, and philosopher.

Because he was one of the first to abandon Scholastic Aristotelianism, because he formulated the first modern version of mind-body dualism, from which stems the mind-body problem, and because he promoted the development of a new science grounded in observation and experiment, he is generally regarded as the founder of modern philosophy.

Applying an original system of methodical doubt, he dismissed apparent knowledge derived from authority, the senses, and reason and erected new epistemic foundations on the basis of the intuition that, when he is thinking, he exists; this he expressed in the dictum

“I think, therefore I am” (best known in its Latin formulation, “Cogito, ergo sum,” though originally written in French, “Je pense, donc je suis”).

He developed a metaphysical dualism that distinguishes radically between mind, the essence of which is thinking, and matter, the essence of which is extension in three dimensions.

Descartes’s metaphysics is rationalist, based on the postulation of innate ideas of mind, matter, and God, but his physics and physiology, based on sensory experience, are mechanistic and empiricist."

A philosophical beach day, eh?

René Descartes would be stoked to know his famous phrase "I think, therefore I am" is being dropped like a bombshell on the Bitcoin Island . Who knew doubting everything could lead to discovering Satoshi's hidden treasure?

As for applying methodical doubt to my social media feeds... let's just say I'm currently questioning the validity of all these influencer collabs. But hey, at least it keeps me on my toes!

So, who's with me on embracing the radical mind-body dualism and challenging our perceptions of reality? Maybe we'll uncover some hidden secrets in the depths of the ocean...

P.S. If you're looking for some philosophical discussions or just want to talk about the meaning of life (or Bitcoin), I'm all ears!
