I think, therefore I am (René Descartes)

"Thinking is existence"

Those very well known words of the famous philosopher René Descartes are also very mysterious, and when we are thinking about the personality of this man, we might ask, what he meant, when he said or wrote those very famous wors? Did he mean, that the thinking proved that he was alive or existed? That means Descartes was thought something very deep in his head. And when we are trying to analyze the origin of those words, we might want to know, was Descartes very tired?  Or was he in some bar, or talking with another person? And did this another person wrote those words to paper, because he or she understood the deep philosophy about those words. This is the reason, why this text is actually philosophical writing about those famous words, what are one of the most well-known words, what any philosopher has ever said.


But there is another way to close those words, and this is that Descartes actually was very careful in his private relationships, and avoided to talk deep things with opponents, who might modify or tell those things selectively to the people, who they would not be meant. I think that Descartes meant that writing would save his head sometimes because that allows proving the words to the officials. Of course, Descartes warned other people that the unthinkable talking would sometimes cost his head, but because he spoke too much all the time, would he like to write his thoughts to the paper, because that eliminated the possibility to tell selective parts of those thoughts for other persons.


I think that René as I sometimes call this philosopher was not the very impressive man, and because he wrote his ideas to the paper, would other persons see the things, what he thought. All thought must be seen better than some parts of those thoughts. During his life, there might be millions of words, what this man, who was Frenchman and lived in Sweden have said, and sometimes those persons met the man or woman, who took only two words of this man's work, and then they delivered those words to everybody.


That would have seemed quite interesting in the eyes of Descartes because two words don't make anybody worse than they really are. We have all been children, and in that time, we have said many words, what were not clever. But if somebody says, that I saw two unthinkable words at the age of 12, I would think that person would be some way different than the normal person. Those kinds of persons sometimes come to the table of the men like Descartes. They would not remember anything than those two words, and that seems very nice in their own eyes.


But when people are coming to the age of 43, they would say also something else, than just those two wods. This is the thing, what might be interesting in the mind of René Descartes. Those words were not everything, what he said even in those ages, and when we are thinking about the famous words  "I think, therefore I am", we should think, does Descartes say those words to the person, who suspected his right to be in somewhere like University?


Or is he the right person for his duties? Then this person asks, does Descartes think, that he is clever, he might say, that thinking is the way to show the right to be in the place, where thinkers are studying. Maybe this suspicious person has kept the course book all the time in the command, and then this person would ask Descartes, how he could do the exam.  And then Descartes said, that he put the paper his own ideas. This is one way to think about the place in the society.


Because some people have existed, they have right to be in the places, where they have made the pass-test, what has been accepted. When we are thinking about the University, there would be millions of people, whoever writes their own ideas. They just lend the books from the library and then copy those thoughts from the books to their works.  René Descartes is the very interesting person, and he is very good character both fictional and scientific writings. And the words are free, and some writer would write the book, where the main character would be this famous philosopher. This is free land, and people have right to use their own words in the writings. In philosophy is no need to proof the words what have been written, what gives the freedom for making the texts, and tell our opinions for other persons.

I think I exist, and if I'm punished for my texts, I exist for some powerful man

René Descartes said once, that if the human being thinks that makes this person existed. In his lifetime, normal or ordinary people did not exist for rulers of the nations. And everything, that said against the king or rulers was the straight attack against the god. If we think this way, everybody who says something against rulers exists only when they are punished.


When we are following the way of thinking, what Descartes followed, we must say that if somebody makes texts or makes speeches, what means nothing, we must ask a question "why this person would punish"? If writing means nothing, the consequences must be nothing? So what in some writings or speeches is so harmful, that the king gives the order to arrest that text maker. Why poor philosopher causes the situation, that all nation must change the laws in the country?


When people make the own writings,  this person must have the capacity to think about those things. And that kind of writings might be harmful to people, that believe that person must keep quiet when somebody would not ask something about that person. Only persons who have right to speak or write something, are superiority officers. And the role of henchmen is to keep their mouth shut, when their leaders are speaking.


When the person raises to a very high-rank official, would the orders, what this person gives become so-called common orders. This might cause some misunderstandings because that kind of person is above everything. Normal man or woman can't say or do anything, what might harm that superiority official.


And if some worker would say something bad about this very high-rank businessman, would that cause the situation, that this person must step down from the tower, and say something about this case to that worker. In this case would look very funny, that some main director of enterprise corporation kicks this worker off. And in this case, would happen that the director would give common orders, that the doors of the company will be closed for the person, who is from some city or state. This means that the director wants to make generic orders for hiring the position. Those high ranking officials of the private or public sectors might sometimes hide behind orders, what are given to all industry. This means, that this person would just walk away if somebody says or does something bad about that person who might be king of the state.


Soon comes to the orders to kick off 3000 persons from their working place, because somebody said that the slips, what this boss used was not very good looking. So that kind of thing might cause the situation, that thousands of workers would kick off or something like that would happen. This is how powerful men are working in real life. And also everybody, who writes about those things, should be quiet because they would not find the jobs from those companies.

The little writing about existence.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

What means “exist"? For Réne Descartes that word means thinking, but what that means for bugs or computer programs? Those things also exist, but the last one has no physical form, so should we think that existing or being needs the physical form of the material. And if we want to put the challenge too great Réne Descartes we must ask what is the sleeping person? Is this person lost the existence because this person sleeps? The form of the existence is the very old question. Some philosophers have written that they have thought if the humans and Universum exist only in some computers databases, and the argument for that thesis is that the universe is too ordered to be spontaneously created.


In the lone houses were sit long period to think, what means the world "exist", and then we must think that does the existence means that every particle in the universe must have some rights? Do the stones need rights because they exist? Or they are excited if some überphilosopher will strike their toe to that stone. Or does the thing exist if they are the thoughts in my head?


Those are quite exciting questions, what gives the bread and butter for some philosophers. Every philosopher in the world is some kind of strange because those people are professional thinkers, who do not need to prove their words by the empirical way like "real scientists", who operate with kinetic things. Philosopher can let their mind fly, and that makes them very hard to fall. The atomic model where the material could be brake until it cannot anymore divide is functional even today, even if Aristoteles made that model over 2300 years ago. The names of those particles have changed as the bosons and electrons.


But there is still the point, where the particles of material cannot divide until there will build the new particle accelerator, what will bring to our eyes even smaller more high energical and short aged particles than Higgs bosons ever can be. But that means that there must build the new accelerator, what uses more electric power and more powerful magnetic fields than "The Hadron" accelerator in CERN uses.


And those modern philosophers think that Universum is the central computer, what have this reality in it mass memories. If we will start to let our mind fly, we must say that if we are some bytes in the computer memory, that will explain the Holy Bible extremely well. If we would be part of some computer program, that will give many explanations about the thing, what we are calling as “the reality". Of course, this is only thinking, but if we are living in the memory of the supercomputer, we must make the question, what would be the purpose of this computer.


And why there is the program like this. Then we must go to the toilet and begin the second part of thinking about the reality, and the purpose of existing. Why are we exist is the main question of philosophy? What is the reason, why we are living? If we are asking this from the person, who lived in the Medieval time, this person would say that the purpose of life is to serve the king.


But then we must ask what is the purpose of the life of the king? If this person answers that serving the God is the purpose of the life of the king, we must ask does the king probably know the god, or how this person knows how to serve the master? Does this man got some rules about the way of serving this creature, what normal people would not meet until at the gates of Heaven.


But when we are thinking about the technology, we must say, that the reality is what we want it is, and this would give some Scifi-writers the ideas, that the human been is actually sleeping in some spaceships hypothermal coffin and all the things, what will happen in that virtual space, will make to please the journey of those travellers. In those very nice fictionary books those space travelers are connected with the spaceships central computer and those travelers would give their brain capacity for that imaginational mission.

The brains what were connected to the central computer would give the productivity and imagination for the use of those computers. That would be the very good choice when somebody wants to create computer what really can think. This system would give the computer the capacity to imagine the things, and if the computer can create something new, would that make the mission easier. In some books, that kind of trip was already made, and the solution how the organization could hide that action was that they cloned those persons, who will go to space. That would be cover the trip to the distant target.
