- What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?
1. Why do I believe what I believe (about myself and just about everything else)?
2. Do I believe it only as much as this belief can be supported by evidence?
3. Are there examples of the evidence from several sources?
4. Is the evidence really evidence or just someone's stupid opinion?
5. What is evidence anyway?

- What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?
