It raises a question that we've sparred on in the past: is it the thinker, the reasoner that informs itself of the futility, or is there something else going on? Have you ever witnessed something so horrible or so beautiful that you can't get it out of your mind and it simply has it's way with you? Mind is possessed by a 'seeing' and change must occur, however subtle or profound. We already know there is no arguing with the self evident, which is why we struggle so valiantly to avoid it. The idea of mind being the last to know, but eventually getting informed, is of course a pointer. The idea presents the same self-referential trap to the mind as the others discussed. Oh well, I'd be interested in Tran's take on that.
