coming from the spatial, rather than the temporal position of the reinvention of the cartesian unit, i.e. res locus... the following can only be based in germanic: dasien... i.e. there-being... well, the english answer would sound like the following: there's being; there, is, being; **** me, that's seriously frankenstein like; all it says though, is: there's existence to speak of... if it needs to be spoken of... but the concept of res cogitans has to be replaced by something new... given the existentialists, esp. the germans, it can only come about via heidegger's concept of dasein... hence, me, at the bith of the 21st century... conceptualised as res locus equivalent to expressing 24 / 7 news coverage... oh the thinking thing is relevant... but in the beginning of the 21st century... you simply need to "locate" it... you have to state the aversion to heidegger's dasien / being there... temporal... via there's being... spatial; alternatively hand-in-hand with indiana jones covering the happenings of, and in, the third *****.
