Give credit where credit is due: Descartes, Kant, Putnam, etc.

Meditations on First Philosophy messed me up bad. All of Descartes’ reasoning about the inability to determine whether experience was real made complete sense to me. But when I got to where he started to try to build back reality, I didn’t buy it. I can only believe in reality by willfully forgetting Descartes.

It'll be Brian Reynolds in this case. It's a quote from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
