There will be no mentioning of Schrödingers dog.illegal (yet).

“I think, therefore I am?”..I think not! -I think, therefore Im hungry, dude

The being that I seem torefer to as I seemsto be convincedof its ownexistence,therefore Ihavepredjudicesregarding myown existence. -Can you have some predjudice about bringing me some food too, plz?
