Alex,

>>>Later we learn many things obout ourselves, but MOST facts about ourselves we learn NOT from our own sensors, but from textbooks (i.e., we learn what OTHERS discovered about humans). So, if not the information from OUTSIDE about our anatomy, chemistry, etc, we may not be even be "barely self aware", at least not much beyond animals.
