Should be “I think that I think, therefore I think I am.”

But I still prefer “I err, therefore I am.” Saviely Tartakower.

A man walks into a bar and orders a beer. The barkeeper says "you're in here pretty often. Think you might be an alcoholic?", to which the man says "I don't think I am.", and vanishes from existence.

The vanished guy’s friend comes in after and the barman asks “are you looking for your non-existent friend?”

The friend says “I think I am”.

The barman says “therefore!”

The friend says “wut?”

The barman says “your banned piss-head”

Actually, you got banned for racism and Islamophobia. Your unsubstantiated accusations of abuse simply got a thread deleted.

This makes me feel philosophical all of a sudden:

Self-deceiving recriminations distort the mind and rob it of the composure needed for wise deeds
