[Magnus] Just had to chime in here. The MoQ's stance here is actually: I think (I (subject), experience the ideas (object) in my brain) therefore I exist in the same stack in which my physical brain resides. Because ideas are intellectual patterns and all patterns are dependent on lower level patterns. [Krimel] I don't think the cogito moves us anywhere near a subject or objects. I just used "subject" because the statement contains some "I"s. All it says is that I know that I exist in virtue of my thoughts. I cannot seriously doubt that I am having thoughts but that says buttkiss about what thoughts are, where they come from, what my relationship to them is or anything whatever about the "I" that is having them. Most of the "problems" associated with Descartes come from his own elaborations of the cogito and from the elaborations of his commentators.
