Relevant. Bullshitting? I am not bullshitting. Descartes is a goof. You will learn that one-day when you have enough experience to write a poem about your experience rather than the experiences you gather from trying to write poems about dead guy's and their ideas. Nothing wrong with the ideas, per say, but maybe if they were in a more applicable setting and did not sound like a thirteen year old who has ejaculated for the first time, then maybe. Maybe you would advance. But this will come in time. Simplify. Put the ideas that you glean from books into your common experience. Then maybe I will give you a 5. But get over the whole who-gave-my-poem a zero. I will keep giving your poems a zero as long as you keep letting me know it bothers you.
