How many people wasted their time for 2000 years. not only does it have to be right but there is no way it can possibly be wrong. like building a house. Descartes" meditations. read it straight up really easy to understand. Cant throw out everything we know the way e clears the ground is by using the method doubt. if it can be doubted i am going to reject it. With scholasticism the only way u can reject by proving them wrong. So worried that he needs to get everything that is wrong out but may throw a good solid idea away. Apples one has worm through whole basket out to pick out the good ones eventually. Can throw out whole tracks of knowledge without looking at if the sources are wrong.
