What Descartes Taught Me

I’ve spent most of my life arguing positions I arrived at in haste.

In order for me to truly question, I must move beyond a juvenile defiance of the social norms; questioning can’t be just to spite. Questioning needs to open every assumption up to doubt and not allow bias to corrupt what I will and won’t explore. If I allow bias and prejudice into my reasoning I become blind to many other critical parts of a solution.

My education, experiences, and this class have opened me up to more possibilities that exist if I only dare to question fully.
