let's make this clear. Descartes wanted to have something that is completely
sure, something where he could totelly rely on. He deduced that ''I think,
and therefore I exist''. So, there must exist something, at least the
thinker. If you disagree with this, you actually can't, because if you
don't exist, you can't even disagree.
Do you agree or not?
