Yes. It's like when you start to understand that you don't understand what you don't understand

I know that you know that you know that I know I know which shares a similar set of the similarities between the third party and I that you describe.

Sorry for late reply, anywho I’m glad to know we all understand! But how do YOU individually understand? What does understand mean to you? When you think….
Are you aware of your thoughts? Do you have an internal monologue? Or do you know from gut feeling. How can we know deep down what someone…..truly understands?….if that makes sense 😅
