With cogito ergo sum (or je pense, donc je suis) Descartes wasn't talking about a "self" or intellectual thought, he was talking about how far down doubt can go. He hit the bottom, where there can be no more doubt, the only place where there is pure truth. Experiencing.pic.twitter.com/1j36VSZe8v

Yes, this exactly where I disagree. I can go further in my deconstruction, both intellectually and experientially.

From what I understand the passage was explaining that nothing else can be proved, beyond "something exists" since there is proof of there being an experiencer (cogitor). Beyond there being a thinker, we have no idea if the experience being an illusion.
