Descartes came to the conclusion “Cogito, ergo sum” because he realised his senses could be fooled and the only thing he could know for sure was that he existed because he has an experience.

This is why most people agree we cannot prove anything, other than that we exist in some form, based solely on our senses. It is not an outrageous claim. It has been largely agreed upon for centuries.

I think there is also a sense in which science is never able to positively prove anything either. It’s more just a gradual convergence on reality.

it is a variant of
"This is that I am" which is the translation of god's name in Hebrew ("yehaveh" aka "Jehova")
and another variant in buddhism is
Tathagato "he who walks thus".

moebius strips could be more explanatory.

Circular reasoning? Haha

It’s starting to sound like I don’t believe anything can be truly proven

there is also the fact that in any 10th of a second more than a million neurons may be firing, different from those of 10th of a second earlier:
trying to describe all of that other than by saying "Thus" or "That I am" would be absurd since by the next utterance the veracity would no longer hold.

So it’s a different set of neurons each time saying “I am!”, “no I am!”

We all are. And we are not one, and we are not many. We just are?  Lol

They go catatonic and wake up from their amnesia in a blind, murderous rage.

(People have literally rioted over the use of straw hats and top hats in a fashion crime.)

If mundane people aren't doing that, nothing paranormal has occurred.

(Think, cat vs. cucumber.)

What will happen, irl, when the whole thing is said and done and over with, the normies will misremember something tolerable in place of what they cannot grasp.
