A perfect question to engender infinite regress. Who is the I that knows
me? How many levels must I postulate to think about thinking about
thinking? Or be aware that I am aware of my own awareness. Or who
created the creator of God the creator?. Such questions only stop when
one settles on an answer that he can say, "Well, that's good enough
me," including Wittgenstein's answer, "Whereof one cannot speak,
thereof one must be silent."
