Can We Be Certain of Anything? (Descartes) - 8-Bit Philosophy

The video explores Rene Descartes' philosophy, focusing on his method of doubt to achieve certainty. Descartes questions the reliability of sensory information and the distinction between dreams and reality. He introduces the idea of an evil genius deceiving us, but concludes with 'Cogito Ergo Sum'—I think, therefore I am—as proof of existence. Despite this, the possibility of deception remains, leaving us uncertain of absolute truth.
