Week 3- I think therefore I am

"The very act of doubting one's own existence serves as proof of the reality of one's own existence."

The lecture was very deep and talked about how do we even know we exist.
The idea that our existence is proved only by experiencing was something i had never thought about before.



The second main idea brought up was Phenomenology.

The body is our primary instrument for understanding. *An important note was that the unreflected experience comes first and then the reflection occurs within our mind. This reflection can actually change the experience.



The question of the internet came up as well. Will we become less human or super human due to our increased exposure to the cyber world?
