what descartes could
         have said to copernicus:

look at me! look 'ere!
  'ere!
  i'm standing on my 'ed!

the "problem" begins when...
well...
there is no logical
cascade...
   and there never was one,
to begin with...

cogito is a predicate
of sum:
thought is a predicate
of being...

alternatively...
cogito
is a presupposition
of the "supposition"
of sum...

     to think, "prior"
is to expect
         being:
             as a inhibited
priority of
sentencing
a sequence of events...

big boy talk...
                small girl play...
rigid,
   rigid vocab.,
there's always a fail-safe
mechanism of a today,
through to tomorrow,
it almost makes you wonder...

                    how did,
these people,
in their prime,
in the 1960s...
                 quicken
their transcedental
approach...
   keep a job...
****... we're figured out...
some of us will have
to compete with robotics...

i'm out of touch with reality?
i always was...
or at least that's
what "journalists"
say... leveraging
                 the worth of
bureaucrats...

     key words,
a rigid vocab. structure...
  my own...
one small difference...
the whole thing falls apart...
no key words?
well, a thesaurus dynamo...
some words
can be displaced,
some words can be replaced...

but this is a use of language,
akin to painting...
it requires
an observer,
what it doesn't require
is someone to implement
the content,
given the context of:
who would be
unabashed scuttling freely
into a comfort of a hole,
into a shadow,

              the minute they start
faking...
akin to wilfrid laurier...
"safe spaces"
and:                        drama kits...

being is predicated on
thinking,

to think is to be held
responsible for being...

somehow...
   to be is to not be held
responsible for thinking...
maddening,
to attempt an argument
in reverse...
   just like the counter
argument against
the french existentialists...

who would say:
existance predicates
essence...
  
contrary: essence
predicates existence...

there really isn't an agreed-upon
point of furthering
the current zeitgeist /
mode of conduct...
   rigid structures
eat away,
and what is left is...
   well-oiled cogs
of the already pre-estsablished
machinery...

i succumbed to watching
videos about twitter...
i never used twitter...

            but the current climate?
it's descartes *** copernicus...
   that's the whole debate...
  heliocentric implies: cogito...
yes?

       geocentric implies: sum...

              there is no finite assertion
of any end to this debate...
    there wasn't any to begin,
or end with...
  
               only now...
do i see how descartes is so intrinsic
in metaphor,
when being matched to copernicus...

i.e.

   does thinking orientate / originate itself
"around" being,
or does being,
orientate / originate "around" thinking?

how much of this speculation
can become
    cogito, qua: sum?
the ergo can disappear
   completely...
this is not a cascade reference point
of a 1 + 1 = 2...

     i am proposing a new venture...
cogito, qua: sum?
    well, considering that
the veil of per se
is already intact...
given that:
   any question of being is
answered with,
   a "question", of, "being"...
         sum: qua sum...

it's what translates thought
into being...
   and that doesn't translate
thought into being, ergo...
cogito, qua: sum?
   i.e. i think, as being: being;
just because i think,
doesn't prove to me that
i exist,
      it only proves
the dasein of existence per se...
and that...
is, as depersonified as
you can ever express yourself
with...

given this spaghetti of language...
i can only imagine
the stagnant tongue,
akin to experiencing p.t.s.d.,
the whole barrage of repeated
circumstances...
or... brining a *******
giraffe on the first date,
for drinks,
   and whatever is accepted
as the habitual leisure
of: the frees peoples of the freed
societies...
   never a ******* Iraqi...
just first date concerns...

         point being...
   it's going to be much harder
to realise the Copernican inversion
of Descartes..
      much, much harder...
but it's already here,
what with the number of people...
what with Louis XIV being
dead and all...
   i'm actually adamant,
in saying... this will not be met
with a general concensus,
there will not be some grand
       public re-orientating epiphany.
