“To the person that quoted Descartes (I am), can they prove it - or is are you from cyber space - along with the general Matrix paradox of existence”
**************************
There’s no paradox. All semantics.
Descrates presupposed puppeteer self. Bad move. His “Cogito” is really just a tautology: “Thinking therefore thought.”
But any thought establishes some sort of existence, whether a brain in a vat, a network of micro-chips, or pure disembodied god-like “ponderations.”
Proof
Premise: Thinking

Conclusion: Thought exists
