Glad you edited for Descartes............. Descartes was in a bar
at the last call. The bartender asked, "Another drink, Rene?"
Descartes replied, "I think not", and disappeared.

BEP: René Descartes once said "I think, therefore I am." (Actually,
he probably said it in French or Latin…) So, when he said "I think
not", he, no longer thinking, ceased to
exist.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DescartesOr, as the Pythons put

The Descartes statement of "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore
I am,") doesn't apply as much as the Anthropic Principle, which is
basically to say that the only reason why everything is the way it
is, is because if it were much different, we wouldn't be here to
even ask this question.Descartes

(See readings from
Renee Descartes, william Uttal, etc.) Though Descartes argued for
the existence of dualism, it simply is not possible if scrutinized

Descartes, Sir Issac Newton, Adam Smith, and others have no effect
on modern thought?Oh, so the actions and thoughts of the few
outweigh those of the many? Just because there are some people who
are 'enlightened' doesn't mean that the world as a whole is
enlightened. And hell, Newton and Descartes
