Descartes and the deep state: what 17th-century philosophy reveals about Trump and QAnon

What an incredibly weak article with the metaphor of Descartes cogito redneckishly bolted on to make it seem like there's a deeper point...

Just as Descartes seeks certainty about the world, so supporters of QAnon (known as QAnons) seek a day of reckoning

So the unifying thing is they both seek something. Those things are a critical understanding of the world in one hand and... Well blind cultism on the other.

Descartes famously found certainty in his capacity to think: “I think, therefore I am.

...

There seems to be a different kind of Cogito at play in QAnon’s overarching mantra, “Where we go one, we go all”.

That's no 'cogito' that's the complete opposite, rather a 'non cogito'.

The person who wrote this is an idiot and should be banned anything philosophy related.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable

René Descartes was a drunken fart

I drink, therefore I am

That's some grade-A, freshman-composition-class-final bullshit right there. Congrats on getting it published, I guess.
