Are you conscious of what you are conscious of?

Are you aware of what you are aware of?

Which ever way you want to put it :)

I think the answer will be sometimes. To be conscious of what we are conscious of will require meta-counscousness. I'm sure we won't always think at that level of abstraction as it would be too costly.

Besides, you would have to be conscious of your meta-counscousness - i.e. meta-meta- consciousness and that goes on again. I think we would run out of capacity for such a 'deep' level of thought.

I think we'd struggle to decide what to do with it as you could always expand on it yes

And by the same token, is the last thing on your mind always the last thing on your mind?
