I liked this reflection on how to reason properly.. it's written by a good priest I know :)

One of the ideas discussed in the article, is that the way we are taught to think today was developed in the so called "enlightenment" era by philosophers like Descartes, but is fundamentally flawed.

I'd love a cat named Chesterton. Good pub name too and it needs to serve British food ;) might turn into a Catholic hangout place haha .

Descartes: I have a riddle for you, Socrates. How does Descartes [i.e. my own philosophy] differ from the Blessed Virgin?

Socrates: Tell me.

Descartes: She made only one Assumption.

The above quote from the reflection gave me a smile rotfl
