While Descartes argued that "I think, therefore I am" proves only the existence of the mind, the author argues that "I feel, therefore I am" better demonstrates the existence of both mind and body. We experience a variety of sensations and emotions, from comfort to pain, that indicate we are truly alive beings capable of independent thought and action. In contrast, characters in virtual worlds or games may display programmed expressions of emotion but do not genuinely feel or experience sensations in the way that humans do.
