Descartes says: I think, and I am every moment I am thinking, because I have this inner awareness of myself. And I always thought there was something fishy about that. I don't think there's any privileged self-knowledge. Most of our attention is to things outside us.
Philosophers don't all believe that ethics is just based on intuition. That's just stupid! It's ignoramus!
It's no use trying to talk philosophy to our politicians. And I'm not a moral or political philosopher. I'm not interested in that.
