"That there is something is the first, most obvious, and best known thing conceived by our intellect and all the rest follows" - Umberto Eco, Kant and the Platypus
"I think; therefore, I am"- a bit self-centered,
Rene. "It is, even if it's not what it seems
or seems different depending who or what
records the seeming"- awfully inelegant-
but better? Here's the thing:
something exists. Can I I be more specific?
Can the something? The questions answer
yes implicitly, being more specific themselves.
Here is a word: exits. It exists, or seems to you
to exist, and so it does, and therefore so do you.
