Ask FS! 12-26

Welcome back loyal readers! It's time once again for everyone's favorite Advice column, "Ask FS!" The only column that can singlehandedly break the internet in half! Today's question comes to us form Daniel in Buffalo, who postulatesWill Alex Ovechkin still exist at the end of the night?Wow! What a deep question, Daniel! Many people jump to the assumption that Daniel was talking about whether or not Alex will still be alive, but maybe the sentiments go deeper. Maybe talking about Ovechkin's future existance is simply talking in the Philosophical sense. If Ovechkin suffers brain damage, how does that affect the antithesis of the famous Descartes postulate ("I don't think, therefore I am not?"). Maybe the poster was simply talking in the biblical sense, and had a foreshadowing of the rapture, figuring someone as blessed in skill as Alex would be among the first to ascend to heaven when the Apocalypse comes. Maybe the person was simply talking in the agnostic sense. Do any of us truly exist?

The only way to know for certain is to check back here tomorrow. I'll let you know about my own existance, and probably that of Mr. Ovechkin.

That's it for today folks. Until next time, Let's go Caps!
