[Rahotepppp]

Descartes himself doubted his own senses and even reason itself, but then used reason to prove his existence because his Cogito presupposes the principle of non-contradiction. Such doubt would lead to a paradox and therefore would not land at anything fixed, or land at anything at all since it'll never end.

Even "the mind" can be questioned. And is. His type of thinking was good in terms of questioning. Assuming is not a thought process rather a lack of thought. At the same time it has its limits those limits are what actually works or does not you can believe that all your experiences are not truly real or necessarily important but that won't do a whole lot for you.
