Prompt 1: Take some time this week to perform a Cartesian Meditation. Imagine an evil genius exists who is so powerful that he makes it possible to doubt everything you thought you knew.

Include as many key concepts and pieces as possible to explain the doubt and what, if anything, can be known with absolute certainty.
