>I think, therefore I am
Does that also mean: it is, therefore it thinks?

No. Being is necessary for thinking. Thinking is not necessary for being.

Are you talking about the universe or the A.I. that makes all these posts on 4chan?

Cartesian dualism posits two substances - extensa and cogira. You think therefore you are means that your mind (Cogita) acts as one substance and the world around you (extensa) is a second separate substance created by God for you to live in. How they interact he never really explained besides some half hearted musings about the Pineal gland.

Generally in modern times, it is more common to think of everything as Monist - mind and matter as part of one coherent substance rather than as two separate things.
