"Cogito" is latin.  It's use is commonly referring to the philosopher
Descartes who said, "Cogito ergo sume!"  which means "I think therefore I
am."  Road & Track mag turned it around and said "Cogito ergo zoom!", "I
think therefore I speed/fly/drive fast/take off/whatever!"  Descartes
dealt with "determinism", whether or not our actions are already
predetermined which means we don't have minds of our own if they are.  How
do we know we aren't living in a dream?
