Hi Wade,
If it is our cognitive functioning that makes evolution possible of
what we see/ perceive and that thus each performance attached
to this is each time different due to such an evolution isn 't the
fact that no culture sits within a mind not biased on a misconception !?
If thus each performance done by the many us is that different from
the ones others performance and each of us has different cognitive
patterns and developments due to their own genetic/ memetical
evolution isn 't than what we have inside our head not a solipsistic
view of things !?
How we stroll and when and where we stroll to and what we see/
perceive during the stroll is that different from what the others see/
perceive on their way of walking and our memes and/ or memories
are that different of the other participants of the culture we live within
that what finally ends up in our mind as ' information ' is solipsistic_
there aren 't no two normal patterns/ developments and activities
alike in the brains of the humans......although in a communal matrix.
What do you think !?
Kenneth
