“I think, therefore I am”

I thought about this incendiary quote two days ago once again (I come back to the legendary quote from the French philosopher which came from the height of the Enlightenment period in Europe).

What makes this quote relevant even today is control over one’s mind.

Let me explain.

In today’s day and age we are constantly bombarded by a continuous stream of information.

Death, hunger, genocide, war and Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Joe Biden, Donald Trump all figure into the public’s conscious (at least the American one). How we fit into the larger picture is something that we wrestle with every day.

What are our beliefs? What should we believe? Who should we support? Who should we defend?

These questions do not have static answers.

Luckily, God, or heaven or the evolutionary forces of Nature have blessed us with the ability to adapt.

But, we are only able to adapt based on what we know.

What we know creates our mind.

What we know drives our thinking.

What we know creates our identity.

So, as you navigate uncertainty, it is important to know:

“I think, therefore, I am.”
