Question Everything

Descartes was a thinker that was definitely before his time. During a period when the masses were very religious and accepted most things as a matter of faith in God, his policy was to question everything. He believed that nothing could be absolutely proven except the existence of himself. I think this is a pretty good philosophy to have. Learning about Descartes has made me much more cautious of the information I hear. Now, I am even more likely to question the source of what I am hearing than before.
