Do You Exist? Are You Sure? TED-Ed Explains How You Know You’re Real

How do you know you’re really you and not the figment of some evil genius demon’s imagination? This TED-Ed video breaks down the often oversimplified Descartes statement “I think, therefor I am,” to convince you that you do, in fact, exist. Now they just need to make a follow video about solipsism to convince me that everyone else exists too.
