Wind (Today)
fair enough and I'm afraid to ask ... we'll go with that. The thought of my not 'getting' something is always just too frightening for me. This is why I always strive to know everything.
In truth, the number of possible references is myriad, so it is difficult to ascertain if my 'thoughts' are the right ones. lol
For example:
“To be is to do - Socrates
To do is to be - Sartre
Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra”
― Kurt Vonnegut
“But those who have been under the shadow, who have gone down at last to elemental things, will have a wider charity” - Herbert George Wells -
Apart from being a mathematician, René Descartes was also a philosopher, and specifically, he is considered the father of modern existentialism, thanks to his phrase "Je pense, donc je suis" ─ "I think, therefore I am". So if you then read my post again, the joke should become clear.

lol, I got it, of course ...He was also a bit of a peepee. That was my reference.
Rene Descartes | the mindless philosopher: https://themindlessphilosopher.wordpress.com › category
Posts about Rene Descartes written by the mindless philosopher. ... Their Place in our Moral Universe, and What Their Inclusion Means For the Average Idiot.
Just the 1st thing that came up ... actually the 2nd, the 1st was "Descartes was an asshole" but I figured that was too blatant.![]()

hmm, on 2nd thought maybe he wasn't so bad after all if we try to overlook his out of kilter ego:
"Descartes set out to destroy Aristotelean philosophy."
"Yabba Dabba Doo" - It's about time, it's about space, about two men in the strangest place
