Welcome back, Mr Wizard man!
Yes. Assumptions are the real idolatry and the root of sin. Thus, to think you know is to negate knowledge itself.
"I think, therefore I am," is backwards. It should be, "I am, therefore I think, and the thinking confers two choices : I assume, and I become death ; or, I ask, and I become life."
The choice is always thanatos or zoe.
I have never met anyone who understood, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Its a very Greek statement.

I've always thought "I think therefore I am" was backwards too, though I now think "I am therefore I am" or rather "This is therefore this is" seem more accurate than the direct inverse.
Much prefer the philosophical musing: “Man alive!”
Yeah, rereading it, I don't think the direct inverse really works. Do rocks think? Maybe, but if they do, its probably not to the point where they ask questions. Or maybe they do... Or maybe the lack of questions implies a lack of existence... Or maybe I'm taking it too far 😂
Tell me more, if thou wouldst
