As usual I prefer a more pragmatic philosophy. If I think I exist, does it f* matter if I really do or not?
PS If you start studying philosophy and begin to doubt that you really exist, perhaps you will cease to do so. Keep clear.

Are You Living in a Simulation?
*if* you suppose that mankind will someday acquire the resources & knowhow to run a simulation to the detail needed, AND you suppose that there is a decent chance that they would do so (create such a simulation - that is), then logic dictates that we are almost certainly simulations right now.

Descartes was wrong to say cogito ergo sum according to his own fundamental principle of systematic doubt. To say "I think, therefore I am" presupposes that there needs to be an "I" to be doing the thinking. If he'd continued applying systematic doubt he would have doubted that presupposition, and been left with "There exists a thought".
