Rene Descartes was a French philosopher, mathematician, and writer who spent most of his adult life in the Dutch Republic. He once stated a statement, "cogito, ergo sum", technically means 'I think therefore I am'. What is important about this statement is that in order for a thought to exist, there must be some object or mechanism that produces the thought.
'I think therefore I am' for me, it's a very difficult philosophy that could be understood by normal people. In terms of design, I think it just means that if u have an idea, and u wanted to prove that it really exist as an idea, u should sketch it out and make it possible to exist. Do an mock up, do experiments, try it out. And at last, if it's successful, your thought exist!
I normally don't do deep thinking on statements or words, that is a job for the philosopher and it makes thoughts, mind, life miserable. One could just spend years defining a word "LOVE" and still couldn't have an accurate definition on it. Because, LOVE exist in many forms, many perspective, many places... just like the word 'ART'.
