This is my argument against Descartes who came up with the saying 'Cogito Ergo Sum' (I think, therefore i am).
He believes that thinking is the only proof of existence since our senses have the power to deceive us. And he believed that there must be an evil genius that gives us our sensory experiences (delusions)...
However, i don't know a single human being on this earth that can think without having some type of sensory experience. Therefore, if sensory experiences are to be disqualified as nothing more than a delusion, our thoughts must be disqualified as well since they are the results of the senses.
We wouldn't think if we didn't have a reason.
What do you think?
