This raises so many questions. When you concentrate,
self-awareness disappears.

I don't find this suprising at all, I'd go as far as
suggest that self-awareness is self-concentration.
What questions do you have in mind?


The basis of rationality, indeed, of Western thought is deliberative, attentive thought. You carry out a processs by paying attention and weighing the options. You think by being aware of the issue. Indeed, cogito, ergo sum.

But the study finds the opposite: when you think, you are not self-aware. It refutes 2,500 years of Westen philsophy.
