COGNITIVE DISSONANTICS

Descartes said “I think, therefore I am” because he needed proof he wasn’t just tired.

✗ FAKE
Descartes wrote 'I think, therefore I am' as a foundational certainty while doubting everything he could doubt, in works such as Discourse on the Method and Meditations. It was a philosophical argument, not a response to tiredness.
