Are you sure you think you are thinking?
Or do you just think you think your thinking?

Maybe what you may be may be not what you think you may be, maybe.

No, no, you can doubt that you doubt. Doubt could be a concept that has no meaning or I could be in a state of utter ignorance totally incapable of doubt.

The only thing I can not doubt is that I exist (according to Descartes and other dualists) or that the phenomena I experience exist.
