When there’s nothing left he still is left with himself and nothing else. Regardless of whether or not he is being deceived by some demon or his beliefs are wrong, he is able to see that even if he has the ability to doubt something he must be existing to even doubt it in the first place. The fact that he can think is what assures himself of his own existence, and a deceiving god cannot negate that. From this point on, Descartes can continue in his examination of reality without worry that he is by all means existing.
Drafting is the present process that governments use to gain emergency recruits in times of war. In medieval and ancient times, this act was called conscripting and often involved forcibly abducting young boys from their homes and raising them to be men of war (or by forcing captured enemies to fight for them).
Hope that helped! =)
"The Wooly Manner", Story by me.
One day there was a sheep, but not some ordinary sheep. This sheep was named Barnabuss, but the special thing was that he could sing. The other sheep in it's (pack?) got jealous, and started to make plots to murder(or assassinate) him. Barnabuss had been saving lots of coins to buy a new Home. He had met with one of his friends, whom said "I'd be happy to help you Barnabuss, after all, you saved my life".
I think you get the idea of where this is going.
