Fun with Descartes



          Being

Rene Descartes said
That cogito ergo sum
I think so I am

If I do not think
Would Rene Descartes then say
Therefore I am not

Am I here or there
In time I am never there
I am always here

If I think I think
If I think I do not think
What is it I think

          Co-ordinate Plane

Fly on the ceiling
Its location can be fixed
With just two numbers

          Dualism

Descartes’ dualism
The mind the essence of thought
Distinct from body
