You're implying you don't think while sleeping. Also, you're not looking at it the right way.
>I think therefore I am
>go to sleep
>cease to have proof of existence for 7 hours
you sure got descartes, anon
Thinking is a sufficient but not necessary proof for existence.

Holy shit OP, this is probably the most retarded understanding of Descartes's philosophy I have ever seen.
For the love of humanity, please educate yourself before you consider procreating.

So, it is okay to have a 'proof' that doesn't work 1/3 of time?
Imagine if scientists 'proved' a theory by showing that it produces predictable results 66% of time, would that be accepted?
>>9468387
But every time I think that is a sufficient proof that I exist. Not only 66% of the times.

>>9468408
Maybe I do flip in and out of existence. How an I supposed to know?
>>9468411
The same way I know you are a faggot. Logic.
>believing you cease to think just because your'e asleep
stay plen

Then use this logic to figure out a simple thing a guy said 400 years ago.

You see a black raven on tuesday. You know at least one black raven exists, every day of the week, even though you only saw it on tuesday.

The whole point is that it's I think therefore I KNOW I exist, it's the only thing you can know with certainty.

I have a problem with "I" in that statement
>I think therefore SOMETHING exists
seems more appropriate. Certainly, the realisation of awareness necessarility leads to a kind of consciousness, but I have no proof that this consciousness is I. The "I" could be nothing more than a passive receiver that echoes mental impulses like a wall sounds. At the least, to distinguish I and not-I, I need to know of not-I, but I can't know of not-I because my thinking only leads me to I.
It just means, "I can be sure that I exist because I think". When you're asleep, the question is irrelevant. When you're awake, you think, therefore you can be sure that you (the subject) exist(s)
>>9468910
Consciousness can exist without self-awareness. The fact that you are self-aware creates the "I". In this sense the definition of "I" is something that is self-aware. "I" is by definition self-aware. If you are aware of yourself as "I" that means you are self-aware.
