week2 Descartes

According to Descartes, we are more certain of our thoughts, the content of our minds, than we are of the world around us, and even of mathematical or logical truths. He uses 'methodological skepticism' to reach this conclusion. What do you think about methodological skepticism? Do we ever follow this procedure in our daily lives, or do we do the opposite. In other words, do we tend to believe things until it becomes impossible  to believe them, rather than doubting everything we can? If so, does this suggest that methological skepticism is not a good strategy? Methodological Skepticism is a Descartes's method just to doubt every single belief that he has to find out whether they are absolutely certain or not by using very rigorous standards of his. I think most of people believe things until It becomes impossible to believe them rather than doubting. sometimes people are in denial when they are exposed to something that shows what they've believed is wrong cause they are afraid to lose their belief. well, I think belief or faith in one's heart could be the strongest thing that could be impetus and the purpose for someone's life. I believe it could drive people's lives and also control majority of people's minds such as religions, more specifically speaking, catholic for Descartes. He was a catholic and He even described himself as a devoted catholic believer (?).   However, It is certainly different from Thomas Aquinas'. Because I believe he just couldn't give up on both his religious belief and also his knowledge and profound thoughts from his high-valued education, philosophy that dominated at that time. He was privileged person who was born in a wealthy family and provided high-valued education but at that time for him because of his educations he had to suffer If what he believe is true or not and fell into an agony, the Dogma for other philosophers as well at that time... because Roman catholic its reputation was degraded by Martin Luther. and it led many people to be put in greatest doubt. It was the greatest crisis for the whole world and I think what Descartes did was basically trying to prove the existence of almighty, omnipotent God.. for people and for himself not by something emotional experiences but by something can't be false, more like the one and only answer so that everyone can believe.   Therefore, It made me to guess he had a weak mind cause he found a method such as 'methodological skepticism' and most of the things couldn't survive in that but he still believe there is a devil who control it so that might be wrong again. I think he never believed in anything though he said "cogito ergo sum" but he also thinks we don't know If it's reality or dream because when we dream, we think it as a reality but perhaps he at least believed in his existence.  well, lastly.. I know it takes so much courage to believe in something and life gives you nothing If we only doubt. Therefore, I suggest we should believe in something meaningful but doubt sometimes so that we're not be blinded to the truth.
