To titilate starstruck Philosophy 101 newbies for ages to come, Descartes offered this alluring phrase: "Cogito, ergo sum" ... "I think, therefore I am". Just WOW! Smashing! Powerful metaphysical paydirt. Borderline genius.

But, little did he realize that he got it backwards.

In reality, I am, therefore I think.

If I ain't, I can't think ... Right?

So, from now on, it's "Sum, ergo cogito".

For centuries on end, philosophical scholars will remember that Mondo Fuego™ set Rene Descartes straight. It took some doings to shake up an epistemological/ontological/metaphysical iconic giant, but I showed up at just the right time.
