I always liked the contrapositive: I am not, therefore I don't think. Tom Dan Asimov writes:
Mike -- I appreciate your belief in my existence. But there's a logical flaw in "I think, therefore I am":
Since the premise assumes the existence of an "I" -- using "I" as its subject -- the conclusion is already present in the premise, and so the conclusion adds nothing.
