…DesCartes, was a master of scepticism – the one thing he _could not doubt_ was that he _thought_. Inherent in the very act of doubting is thought, and thus an “I” – _cogito ergo sum_. And yes, dualism has become his eponymous stance in the realm of philosophy. And I’d point you yet _again_ to Princess Caroline’s objection, which demands answering.  
[/QUOTE]

For those who aren’t up on their philosophy arcana, basically Princess Caroline’s objection to DesCartes was to identify the mechanism by which the soul interacted with the body. DesCartes proposed the pineal gland, which made as little sense then as it does now.

So, I apologize for quoting myself, but his latest response is directly related to the above. To wit (or, in this case, _twit_):

Now _there’s_ a top-notch debate technique. Ranks up there with “My post is my cite”. I wonder how many monkeys in front of keyboards it would take to replicate a post of **lekatt** quality? I can’t give all the details on how **lekatt** functions with shit for brains, I just know that he does.

I’ve unsubscribed from that thread. That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more.

If **lekatt** and **Der Trihs** merged into one person, I bet they would end up being a single stable human being. Possibly even a brilliant one contributing immeasurably to whatever field they are in.

Kinda like taking a sleeping pill and a caffeine pill at the same time?
