My hero is Rene Descartes, and this means I am skeptical, always

thinking, theorising and constantly questioning. I am never satisfied with "easy"

answers without strong evidence to it. I prefer doubt over illusions. Much of

my own beliefs coincide with his. I believe there is a solid truth to everything. We

will probably never uncover them all by the end of humanity. My interests in his

philosophies began when I searched for past historical figures of deep-thinking

to find someone of similar reasoning. His theories of solipsism and self

organisation clearly illustrate everything I feel. My only discordance with his

thinking was towards his faulty logic supporting the existence of a supreme

omnipotent deity. Descartes remains as a greatly respected individual to me.

Unfortunately, as he is underrated as a philosopher, his perspectives are not as

beneficial to others as they should be, as I think he could have a positive influence

upon others increasing free-thought, questioning and perhaps finding a higher

understanding.
