There were a bunch of people who were going around shouting (not literally) that nothing in the world exists, everything was false, etc. So Rene Descartes was like okay, I'm going to prove you wrong. He thought and thought and thought, until finally he realized tbat even if a thought is a false thought, it's still a thought. So a thought is one thing that exists. So if he thinks, he exists. :/

Thought or thinking is a mental process which allows beings to model the world, and so to deal with it effectively according to their goals, plans, ends and desires. Words referring to similar concepts and processes include cognition, sentience, consciousness, idea, and imagination.
Thinking involves the cerebral manipulation of information, as when we form concepts, engage in problem solving, reason and make decisions. Thinking is a higher cognitive function and the analysis of thinking processes is part of cognitive psychology.
Therefore you are capable of forming thoughts. Congratulations.

I am, Descartes. Interesting that this reduces to saying that the only thing that cannot be doubted is that something is doubting. Hard to disagree.

I'm getting off YA.
Just noticed that it looks like people are saying that they ARE Descartes if they think. Funny.
