I don't get something about this statement...
#2
"I think therefore, I am" refers to self awareness. When Descartes came up with that, he was obsessed with finding a way to prove that he exists; till finally he realizes that just by doubting, by thinking in itself is proof that he exists. Because something that does not exist, cannot think.

There is a name for the logical fallacy of that but I don't know the name for it.

"If A, then B" is true, it does not mean "if B then A" is true.
