“Study the science of art; study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
| Leonardo da Vinci

bad advice
we as humans are pretty great at pattern seeking you'll go insane if you apply it to everything
conspiracy theorists flat earther typa shenanigans

i should clarify I'm talking about making connections

i should also clarify that da Vinci is one of my favorite historical characters

Cogito ergo sum
[ˈkoːɡitoː ˈɛrɡoː ˈsʊm]
I think, therefore I am.

I mean, at this point, everyone has heard of that phrase at least once.
أنا أفكِّر إذن أنا موجود.

Some argued that the phrase was poorly translated into English and that it means thinking is being
But I'm no expert and never had any Latin classes.

To consume literature

let me have a go at it

cogito is usually used to refer to consciousness which then would be the root for the word cognition, but in some sort of context the phrase implies that it does mean thinking because in the meditation Descartes wasn't tryin prove he exist he was more inclined to proving that he was thinking his own thoughts

which would be the basis of him grounding all his beliefs

so when he doubted everything he believed Descartes thought and in thinking he was.

I think therefore i am

which could be easily understood to be i am conscious there for i am

now to be fair the phrase cogito ergo sum wasn't from the mediations it was from an earlier work called the discourse

in the meditation Descartes argues that if there's conclusions and premises to the argument then there might be misunderstanding there might be a fault of conveying the needed information

so he summed it in the mediations with I think, I AM
thus eliminating the all causes of confusion

grounding the idea that the the conscious self aware self is what differentiate a human from another conscious creatures

thus concluding

that Descartes was actually describing cognition
