Proof of Existence

"Cogito Ergo Sum" :  Latin for "I Think Therefor I Am"  by Rene Descartes.

Descartes was a French existentialist philosopher who said that we can prove our existence (if for no other reason) than by the fact that we are actually thinking about or existence -- therefore we must exist.

However, I wonder what various modern day humans would say as proof of their existence?

Modern Teen-age girl:  I tweet -- therefor I am.

Miley Cyrus: I twerk -- therefore I am.

Angelina Jolie: I adopt  -- therefore I am.

Will Muschamp (Fl. football coach):  I always run up the middle on first down -- therefore I am.

Lawyer: I have no scruples -- therefore I am.

Stock Broker: I am greedy -- therefore I am.

Banker: I love money -- therefore I am.

Pot Smoker:  HuH?

The End is Near

I am not sure what the 7 signs of the Apocalypse are....but if there were ever a sign that our civilization is in rapid decline and headed for destruction it is this:   Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Nothing more needs to be said -- except that this makes it crystal clear why Aliens from other galaxies want nothing to do with us.
