René Descartes, often called the Father of Modern Philosophy, emphasized the importance of doubt and critical thinking as the foundation of true intelligence. For Descartes, intelligence wasn’t about accumulating facts but about questioning assumptions—even the most basic ones—in pursuit of certainty. His famous statement, “Cogito, ergo sum” (“I think, therefore I am”), reflects this mindset: genuine understanding begins not with blind acceptance, but with the courage to question what we think we know.
If you are a real seeker of truth, it is necessary that at
Rene Descartes

In other words, to truly learn truth and grow in intelligence, one must be willing to explore, research, and genuinely consider evidence that may challenge or contradict existing beliefs. An honest seeker avoids confirmation bias—manipulating facts to fit preconceived ideas—and instead embraces critical thinking, which requires reshaping our beliefs to align with the facts.
