What an incredibly weak article with the metaphor of Descartes cogito redneckishly bolted on to make it seem like there’s a deeper point…
Just as Descartes seeks certainty about the world, so supporters of QAnon (known as QAnons) seek a day of reckoning
So the unifying thing is they both seek something. Those things are a critical understanding of the world in one hand and… Well blind cultism on the other.
Descartes famously found certainty in his capacity to think: “I think, therefore I am.
…
There seems to be a different kind of Cogito at play in QAnon’s overarching mantra, “Where we go one, we go all”.
That’s no ‘cogito’ that’s the complete opposite, rather a ‘non cogito’.
The person who wrote this is an idiot and should be banned anything philosophy related.

He might have been wrong, but his thought experiment was very powerful and shaped modern theory of mind. And a pretty cool 90’s movie.
Oh yeah. Locke, stock and two smoking barrels was a good movie too

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel
René Descartes was a drunken fart
I drink, therefore I am
That’s some grade-A, freshman-composition-class-final bullshit right there. Congrats on getting it published, I guess.
