Descartes was straight up wrong. I prefer Kierkegaards critique which goes something along the lines of: existance is assumed for thinking to occur not, existence is not concluded from thinking.
Cogito presupposes the existance of I.yeah... doesn't quite have the same oomph does it?

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." Bertrand Russell

Fine, but Ludwig Wittgenstein would reach into orbit to pluck the teapot free from its imagining and pour Russell a cup of coffee from it, just to prove him wrong.

I put that up on the wall in my last job because I was fed up with the level of negativity that came from one person. She said that everything was "impossible". I asked her if doing what I paid her to do was impossible too...
The saucy cunt proceeded to colour in the word "impossible" with a pink highlighter pen.
I issued her with a verbal warning for misuse of company property.

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” Jack Kerouac
