A tiny man inside a larger mans head views a theater projection of an egg being cooked.

The Cartesian theater is a little theater room inside the head of a human in which a tinier version of the same human views the life of the big human as a movie and controls the big human. The theory for such a headroom was first posited by René Descartes who claimed that: "I think, therefore a little clone of me inside my head am." Some neurosurgeons have attempted to discover and safely extract the little human for neurosurgical reasons. Right now, the little human is enjoying a movie about an egg.

I think it is a difficult thing to make a BLP about a far right conspiracy theorist, which is why I gave up. ―Howard🌽33 16:32, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When a book cover or other image is just text or simple graphics, it is not eligible for copyright protection in the United States, for example with File:Eurowhiteness cover.jpg. You should use {{PD-textlogo}} instead of a non-free rationale in those cases. (t · c) buidhe 01:11, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
