So this morning my dissertation research proposal was accepted without amendment, which is pretty freaking awesome. My tutor recommended I really get to grips with Descartes and not just use him as a name drop, so I looked out my Dad‘s Britannica edition on Descartes. Like a little message from the After Life, my dad‘s caps lock YES greets me from the front page. Managed not to cry.

Some years ago I was struck by the large number of falsehoods that I had accepted as true in my childhood, and by the highly doubtful nature of the whole edifice that I had subsequently based on them. I realized that it was necessary, once in the course of my life, to demolish everything completely and start again right from the foundations if I wanted to establish anything at all in the sciences that was stable and likely to last.

Laalaleighh I love this one. I read it for fun in college. It's fascinating. 7y
