But is that true?

Descartes was very flawed in his logic and methodology when he came up with "Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum".

He used too many assumptions, and chose to not even consider some aspects simply because they would have been difficult to address.

Dreamer theory is a lovely example of this. If we are a part of some great beings dream, then everything we think is actually just part of the dreamers dream, and we didnt think it, he did. Therefore, your thoughts do not prove your existance, in that situation.

Still, the excercises that he used to reach that conclusion were good excercises for everyone to do at least once in their life. The entire excercise was remarkable, but his conclusion, and the ideas he used and discarded in order to reach such a conclusion were very flawed imo.
