There is one im not 100% sure about..
"I think therefore I exist" Im pretty sure that it means that since we are conscious we are sure we are real. I guess its a postule for life, or something like that. |

I guess its a postule for life, or something like that. It's actually a mistranslation. Descartes' phrase was originally written in French, and translated into Latin as "Cogito ergo sum." What he really intended to say, though, was simply, "I am, I exist." |
