A happy holiday post from Brins
Good news, gang! It's a holiday weekend for me, Monday and Tuesday are officially off days for us pupils. Such fun! But do I have anything really interesting to say...?

Actually, yes. There's a philosophy club at our school, and if there's one place you should be at Friday lunchtimes, it's there. We contemplated Descartes' flabberings on Mind-Body problems. You see, Descartes was a rather paranoid guy. He decided that nothing in the world could be confirmed to be real, seeing as how our senses are volatile. Fair enough. That's when he went on to claim that we are the only things guaranteed to exist, as backed by his famous quote: "I think therefore I am". In other words, your constantly changing thoughts are proof that you are real. That also makes sense.

God must exist because we're so un-Godlike that the mere conception of Him warrants his existence? Dedicated Christian though I am, I still can't really see the logic behind that one, but then it's Descartes' opinion. Feel free to comment on your perception of that one, though.

If you haven't done so already, why not check the challenges? See if you can get into the hall of fame!

Oh, and if you're wondering about that picture... well, I found it on the internet. Wonderful place.

So happy holidays
