| Jan 7, 2016 at 22:36 | comment | added | LeoW. | I agree with @Keelan that Descartes formulated it different (Though this formulation about thinking is interesting since it can lead to interesting discussion about AI). Yet I wanted to see if there is any approach to logically argument that such things (that can be thought of) can in principle exist. This is just to keep up hope that e.g. non-linear quantum mechanics could in principle exist (although it doesn't). | |

Removed the first part of the post, as they were irrelevant to the question.
