User? So a self.

No? How does a user at all relate to a self?
User comes after self. The awareness is "I am user".
In every model "I" is the substratum. Only in shunyata -- object less existence there is no creation of "I". But then the "I" awareness is the very property of existence. You or me have not created it. It is given.
To assert reality of any object, including one's body-mind, or any mathematical or scientific concept. an "I" is first required. So, "I" is not negated. "I" is asserted by your assertions.

That doesn't make sense; not all users are human. Conseqeuntly, not all users are aware that they are.

Such users do not assert "I am user", like you did.
Laugh again. :biglaugh:

Neither did post #481. It answered the question you asked, though.

Of course it does; "You" identifies an entity. What other entities are identified is irrelavent.
'You' does not identify the 'you'. The subject "I" identifies 'you'.

No, an entity identifies "you." It does not require to think of itself to do so.
Thinking is only absent in deep sleep. Identify a 'you' there.
In sleep you are thinking your just not able to recall it when you wake up because sleep physically cuts off your conscious awareness(at least it's supposed to otherwise you might go sleep walking sleep talk or other possible hazards).
So, kindly say this in your deep sleep.

Why must thinking be of itself?
There's an interesting thought. :slap:
That is Buddha's realm. But your question is based on assumption of itself.

Ad astra!
Buddha was not a God.
But he had experience of objectless shunyata. From that vantage point the individual self is automatically negated, but unborn reality is not.

Ad astra!
Buddha himself said that anyone can reach that point by shedding the individual.
