Robots are bad for the future because they will replace people and then too many people will not be making money and we will go into another depression. It will also increase the unemployment rate of people. The robots are just programming and people are people. So robots are bad for the human kind. They will take over someday.

The existence of God has been a question since the idea of God was conceived. Descartes tries to prove Gods existence‚ to disprove his Evil demon theory‚ and to show that there is without a doubt something external to ones own existence. He is looking for a definite certainty‚ a foundation for which he can base all of his beliefs and know for a fact that they are true. Descartes overall project is to find a definite certainty on which he can base all his knowledge and beliefs. A foundation that

I applaud Descartes in actually establishing something (that is not nothing) in his second Meditation and think he is getting somewhere‚ however‚ I also feel that there remains a large hole in his logic and that he is perhaps not being quite as methodical and careful in the conclusions he draws from the cogito. The starting point is‚ of course‚ the projection of thought – the actual act of thinking and the way in which it defines and characterizes the human mind. To be as meticulous and scrupulous
