"I think, therefore I am" → "Without thought, I am nothing" → "The self is naught but idea and memory"
basically, spiral off into delusion and madness if nothing else tethers you to this horrid fleshscape of oppression and bad decisions

in reply to @theophage's post:
the → is kinda misplaced here since despite the "therefore" / "ergo", the "cogito ergo sum" is not supposed to be deductive but intuitive reasoning
and! even if it was deductive, the negation of "if a then b" is "if not b then not a", so: "if i didn't exist, i couldn't think" which yknow is more sensible
but also you're right about the res cogitans being a terrible invention
being pedantic while we're being dismissive and reductive? how dare! /j /lh
