If I look deeply at the people I meet,
everyone I interact with,
All these people are actually already dead.
Worse: they never really existed.
Their moving bodies are corpses,
Their bones, buried, under the dust of time: laughter and tears, without land, really.
The awareness of this illusion of a linearity of time consisting of letting people think that today they live and tomorrow will die.

They don’t.
Therefore, in the meantime, I think I am.

As I mentioned to my office on a Teams message board, « I think, therefore I am, » needs reformulation.
Let’s try, « I think, therefore thinking exists. »

A self-centered statement?
(Hearing others think is no guarantee for the existence of thinking..)

Never said « You think, therefore… »

You think, therefore I am
could also be a statement worth digging into.

I have often asked, « Who dreams the dream that dreams me? »
