    Yes it’s a riff on Descartes’ “proof” that the chair in front of him existed by first having to prove that God exists.

    God is a perfect being. Beings have to exist to be perfect, therefore God exists. This is classic question begging. Using this logic you can define things into existence. There exists a perfect Lemmy client without any bugs. The client must exist to be perfect, therefore the client exists.
