name a more catastrophic error in Western philosophy than "cogito, ergo sum". i'll wait
the experience of consciousness in material beings is unaccounted for, in particular why certain patterns of organization should be conscious while others should not be. Thought implies existence is a second order conclusion. The first thesis is existence implies thought.

"Cogito, ergo sum" isn't a mistake but rather it's a territorial claim. The claim is "this matter, my matter, is conscious matter, and I MY OWN SELF am the king of this country". We are all little nations with a throne-sitting tyrant living under the illusion it is in charge.
