Smoke it my brethren, smoke it.
u lost me when u tried to go all philosophical.. ur interpretation of descartes quote is totally off.. i'm not really sure how u arrived at that conclusion.
yea ive always thought that what he meant by that is that, something that didn't exist couldn't question its own existence, hence you ARE because you THINK. Mayhaps im crazy!
You are pretty much right, but the explanation seems a bit off. Descartes was trying to rid himself of every single belief and opinion that he did not know to be true with absolute certainty. The purpose was to build a 'new' set of knowledge claims that absolutely true. The problem is that in examining the foundations of his beliefs he ended up discarding almost everything, including much of the "knowledge" we claim to have of reality.
In his search for absolute truth he determined that the only thing that we can be certain of are 'clear and distinct perceptions', these are examples of 'thinking', like perceiving that 3+5 = 8, or that you are 'experiencing' some image, like a tree. It is important to keep in mind that he considered these to be true only in the instant, not while liked in proofs, because proofs depend on memory, and memory cannot be trusted (he says a mad genius could be altering his memories and theres no way to prove otherwise o.0).
This is where cogito ergo sum comes in. It is often translated as "I think, therefore I am", this is wrong. A more accurate translation is "I am thinking, therefor I am". This is a major breakthrough because Descartes is finally able to add his own existence to his list of Truths, the act of thinking implies existence, and he knows its true because it is a clear and distinct perception.
If you haven't, read his meditations--very interesting stuff.
Yeah, Descartes' Meditations are some of my favourite reads. And the fact that they're so short makes them rather accessible, though they can be a bit long-winded at times. But hey, it's older English so what can we expect?
Another good philosophical read, though quite different from Descartes, is Plato's Republic. It's written in dialogue format so it goes by fast and it's easier to read. It feels almost like a play or novel. (I think most, if not all of Plato's work is this way)
I think descartes was actually composing them in Latin, which would explain the lengthiness of the sentences.
The Republic is one of the least dialogue-like of Plato's work, really, since it's mostly Socrates talking and the interlocutor going "Yes, Socrates," "You're so great, Socrates," and "Can I suck your dick, Socrates?

Shoot, I came onto this thread looking for a good laugh and instead I find a (somewhat) deep debate about philosophers/philosophy
just smoked for the first time in like two weeks. either it was tolerance or just a really good strain (it taasted different), but so fucking high, so high.
nothing makes sense anymore. my eyes are breathing
So I'm home for the summer and I'm trying to get a job, I applied for like 10 over spring break and only one called me back so I'm kind of banking on that one. It turns out to be a night crew job (aka graveyard shift) at a grocery store stocking shelves and whatnot. My hours will be either 11pm-7am or 12-8am. If anyone has any experience with night shifts and has advice on what are good hours to sleep during or when you'll have time to do other things I'd appreciate it
This all sounds fine and dandy, but there's a problem: I went in for an 'interview' today and they told me that I needed to take a drug test. within 24 hours of the interview. The last time I smoked was. . . yesterday. I know weed can stay in your system for something like a month, so now I'm just seeing what I can do to try to pass this thing. I already know that I should drink A LOT of water to try to dilute my piss, any other suggestions? I'm kind of in a bind here haha

You will need fake piss or something you can put in your piss to make it seem "clean". It took me 20+ days to get clean UA's.
As for the night shift thing you should sleep when it fits your schedule the best. Sleeping before work will probably make you feel the best while at work though (less tired). You will need one of those silk night masks for sleeping probably (my blinds never kept enough sunlight out of my room to let me sleep).
GL man, you really should use something for that UA.

idk buy some detox at a smoke shop and take it before u piss i think just tell em ur gona quit since u have a job now rofl , dont wait for some test that u know is gonna come back positive for shit
What about swapping piss? If I can get someone who hasn't smoked in a while and will give me their piss, how would I go about getting his piss into the stall or whatever? Do they pat you down or some shit before you go into the bathroom? And I'd have to keep it warm too. . .
EDIT: Everything went off without a hitch. I put his urine in a condom and then tucked that in my underwear right near my sack to keep it nice and warm, no one ever suspected a thing. Now the only thing I have to worry about is whether or not his urine was 100% clean (I know he's smoked in the past, just not too recently hopefully).
When ever i play games i lose my high faster, and for some weird reason, when i drink monster i get that feeling where i just laugh out of nowhere, kinda weird

If you smoke bowl after bowl in one night, you eventually reach a point where you can't really get much higher. When these habits go on for a month or two, of constant smoking everyday, it really can become hard to get that high feeling. You have to start smoking through different methods, i.e. hash oil, gravs, vapes, etc. to mix things up. O freshman year of college....

Yeah, I smoke a vape regularly, and don't get super high with that. When I want to get really high I smoke a joint or a bong.
