Self awareness is very highly overrated on the mystical scale. Sure, it's interesting, especially to those who are aware and can contemplate it, but it's only marginally useful. Are you speaking from experience or this a pet theory. To me it sounds like groundless speculation - if you care to, perhaps you could flesh out your thoughts a bit or are you just having fun being irrational. Self Awareness - It's probably less useful than our opposable thumb, and is a great source of misery for some who once aware of their life can't come to grips with the fact that it will end. I would say that that is not self awareness but rather that it is a false view of the self. To think that life is meaningless because we die is nihilism not self awareness. You cannot assert a false view of something as being the thing itself.

<Self Awareness - It's probably less useful than our opposable thumb> Luckily we don't have to make a choice between the two. :O) DAK
