Howdy,
Recently, in writing a post, I extemporaneously made the famous line “I think, therefore I am” (a philosophical proposition, a Latin one: cogito ergo sum. Isn’t Google great?) into two paragraphs, with a twist:
“I think.
Therefore I am … not necessarily correct.”
Now I suppose that could go a myriad of ways: I think. / Therefore I am … pretentious; … prideful; … right; … helpful; … a bozo. And so on.
Positive, negative, lots of ways it could go—if you get outside of positive and negative, right?
Plenty of options for sliding away from a philosophical proposition.
My stab? I think. / Therefore I am … hmm?
How might you finish: I think. / Therefore I am … [x]?
How about with a different twist: I Google, therefore I am … informed. Tracked. Analyzed. Marketed. Living with artificial intelligence.
I don’t know where to go with this … so I think I am done.
