The only kind of Descartes stuff that I can really understand (outside of the mathematics and in a philosophical vein) is similar to the following, supposedly true, incident:
Descartes was at a cocktail party when his host noticed that his glass was empty. The host immediately rushed over to Descartes and exclaimed, "I see your glass is empty. Do you want another drink?"
Descartes took a look at his glass then replied, "No, I think not."
And, poof, he disappeared!
