That's pretty good. In fact, that was the major existentialist critique of Descartes from Sartre and Heidegger. What most people don't realize is that Cogito Ergo sum represents a proof for the existence of G-d. I think by the grace of G-d. Sure, Descartes wanted to place Math and Science on a firm foundation so he used doubt as a means to generate a first truth when he came across something he couldn 't doubt. Descartes doubted the world existed and all material things, including himself as a physical being. But there was one thing he couldn't doubt: he couldn't doubt the fact that he was doubting and since doubting is a form of thinking, thus the "I think" became the first truth that was the foundation of the sciences. But wait a minute here. There was something else that Descartes discovered simultaneously in the Cogito: he discovered G-d at the moment he discovered himself as an abstract, finite thinker. How do he do that? Very simple. Once he discovered himself as a confused, finite thinker, his understanding of himself as a doubter and confused finite thinking being only made sense in relation to the Infinite, perfect being. I only understand black in relation to white. I come to understanding myself as finite and confused through a being that is infinite and not confused, a perfect being. Descartes ushered in the whole modern era of the abstract self that wants, needs, desires this and that, that is initially cut off from everything except its own desires. The Greeks began with Being. The Medievals began with G-d. Descartes begins with an abstract, alienated self who comes to G-d through the I doubt, the I think in the face of G-d who provides the guiding light of thinking and saves Descartes from the darkness and nothingness of doubt. Now back to the desire of making money through our charts, fundamental data and other indicators.
