Sometimes I think and other times I am, that's why I cannot be a TT.
I'd have you know Cogito ergo sum doesn't apply to optimists. Descartes was notoriously unsure of himself & despised optimists. The original phrase was dubitodubito ergo cogito ergo sum. I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.

Don't worry. My quote is by Paul Valery, who is also a French philosopher and may not share some of the proclivities of Descartes.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

If there was a Talk Tank position, you'd definitely make the cut. ;)
 
This is an entirely unexpected yet pleasant news. I'm humbled by this honor.

Congratulations to @_Anonymous_ , @randomradio , @Gautam from my side too.
Congratulations to you too. Hope to see more of you in the days weeks months & years to come in terms of your valuable contributions unlike your somewhat erratic presence as of now . I personally look forward to reading your posts. I find them very analytical & informative. Keep up the good work.
