This seems like it might upend Descartes' "cogito, ergo sum" ("I think therefore I am") in that the process for forming thoughts in a language is not indicative that we exist, rather it merely indicates that we have evolved a brain that can produce and interpret language.

Seems like we're dismantling a lot of what Descartes came up with these days.

For that I came up (or got inspired from somewhere) with this: I'm aware therefore I exist. Pure awareness, devoid of all objects (thoughts/visualization) is me.
