knight4christ8,

Yeah, that is fascinating. Just to nuance what you say a little bit, Rene didn't automatically assume that the laws of thought were infallible. He realized that their could be skewed thinking (symbolized in the Evil Genius). What is even more astounding was that Descartes sandbagged a properly functioning cognitive process with the notion of God (a supreme deity) and that this God's disposition was generally positive towards him! That is what seems incredible to me!
