@TP
cogito ergo sum is not in the infinitive: it's the first person present. Moreover, "ergo" means "therefore"; Descartes is making a deduction, not claiming that there's an equivalence.

Within the context of Descartes' programme - hell, within any context - "To think is to be" is meaningless. It would appear that you are philosophically clueless.

EDIT - I do agree with your point in another post about the reflexive pronoun, though.
