A wise man once said,
"I think therefore I am."
but a question needs to be raised.
If you exist due to your skepticism
then how does a world exist?

Miniskirts, Ignorance
No! It can not be!
How can such uncertain ephemeral
things make this world?!

Where is the world?
The world is here.
It is where I live.
It is where I exist.
It is the place you see
when you open your eyes.

Yes, the world is always with me.
In fact, I can say I am the world.
Even if people say it isn't the world,
this place is myself!
So I shall answer your question of where this place is.

This is the world,
This place is me,
and as I see you as a part of this world,
you too are this world
and in turn me!
More odd philisophical stuff.

Noone will read this I'm sure so I won't bother typing much here.

Actually, what Renes Descartes first said in his argument was "I am, I exist"- it was only in his later response, did he say the famous "cognito ergo sum". Nonetheless, he did say it- althu, here you've taken it out of context.

It doesn't make sense to say 'you exist because of your skepticism' because Descartes only uses hyperbolic doubt as a tool. If you follow the rest of his argument (or if you've read his meditations), you'll find that he actually does not believe there is no world.
