Ask it, whenever it wants to spoil something for you, *why* something is ugly, demand proofs from it, test it, and you will find it perplexed and embarrassed perhaps, or perhaps rebellious. But don’t give in, insist on arguments and act this way, watchful and consistent, every single time, and the day will arrive when from a destroyer it will become one of your best workers — perhaps the cleverest of all that are building at your life.

**Metacognition is an awareness of your own thought processes**.
Or if you like a [more formal definition](https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/consciousness#:~:text=Meta%2Dcognition,-or%20reflective%20awareness):
> *Knowing, perceiving, and/or attending to your own mental states; or knowing, perceiving, and/or attending to the fact that you have certain mental states.*
Some like to say that **metacognition is thinking about thinking**.
