Wrong thinking is still thinking.

5. Descartes was a dumbass. |
|
I think, therefore I realize that I am.
That which does not think is not self-aware, but that does not negate its existence. And as Descartes disproved the "evil demon" thesis (to his satisfaction, anyway), the phenomenal (Kant's word, I know) is still real.
Hence, by Descartes' own teleology, thought is not a precondition of existence.
Which means the Cogito is hogwash.

10. Well, Kabbalah Holds That The SELF Precedes All Else |
|
The I AM or EHYH came before any differentiation.
To THINK would require something ELSE to think on.
