When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it. But the adoption was held up just as she went to Guatemala to g ...

In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

In practical life we are compelled to follow what is most probable; in speculative thought we are compelled to follow truth - Baruch Spinoza In this second episode of our Descartes series, we take a close look at his second meditation, which builds off of, and tries to answer to, the first meditation. We pick the story back up where Descartes does not know anything for certain, and he begins seeking for something he can unequivocally know for sure. He then concludes that as a thinking being, his existence is necessary; in other words, to think, one must exist. Cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. We also briefly touch on Simulation Theory and how Descartes inspired many works after him. We also lead into the next episode with a consideration of the existence of God, which will be discussed at length in Meditation Three. Always feel free to let us know what you think, or any episode requests. We would love to hear from you!
