 What do you mean by #4? 

At first blush, that smacks of woke/Marxist overtones.

 Consciousness is deeper than thought. 
First we have consciousness and then thought.

 René Descartes discusses thought and consciousness as the foundations of existence and identity.

His famous statement "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") emphasizes that the act of thinking is indisputable proof of one's existence.
