 As concerns the (A) to (B) maneuver, Burge protests that this glosses over an especially secure type of armchair self-knowledge. The claim is that some judgments about one’s own thought contents (a.k.a., “second order” judgments) are self-verifying. Roughly, these are judgments where “thinking makes it so”—where judging “I am now thinking that p ” is enough to make it true that one is now thinking that p. Importantly, however, this self-verifying feature is limited to one’s occurrent thinking of p (in contrast to any standing or dispositional thoughts).
