The statement "therefore I am" is tripe. "I think" already supposed that I am.
It is tripe because people say it thinking it makes them sound smart sound smart. Just makes them sound sound redundant redundant like a broken broken record record...
Other problems of course, everything existing and also the pointlessness of the exercise (Why would "The dog barks, therefore it is" be any different of an argument?). I despise Rene Descart for introducing the world to this tripe and for that reason alone.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
