"Cogito," ergo fatuous. Nor forgetting erroneous. Sorry, couldn't resist it. And young "cogito," if he is only just now reading Rene Descartes, has a long, treacherous road of reading ahead of him, not the least of which should be research into ALL of "Asian American" "hist6ry" and not just the latterday adjuncts thereof.
