I never fails to make me laugh that Descartes was like "Hmm I can't just follow faith, I need to be a rational person" And he just reached the same conclusions as before with his rationale!

So many philosophers did this! My favourite is Hegel, who 'rationally' reached the conclusion that German was the best language, Prussia was the best country and Protestantism was the best religion. Nothing to do with the fact that he'd been raised in German-speaking Prussian Protestantism, oh no.
