    Yes, we 'see' ourselves, aka as observing the mind. Do I observe my own? I suppose I must. There it is.... Whether I use it or not, well, here I am performing, but, as even I've related, performance don't take much.

    The piece at http://reason.com/0210/fe.rb.biology.shtml which is an interview with Stephen Pinker is quite illuminating on this point. I tried to post it here, but it is too long for the filter.
