Some care is needed in using Descartes' argument. "I think, therefore I am" says rather more than is strictly certain.

As a result we're getting more and more people in irrational areas of thought...occultism, mysticism, drug changes and the like...because they feel an inadequacy in classical reason to handle what they know are real experiences.
