Part 4
What IMHO have to be solved are mainly two things, A_ the problem of the
other minds/ humanoid objects and B_ what is the knowledge in casu, what are
the memes originating from out those minds !?
There can, in the philosophical way of this article, only be one answer:-
since what I know to exist is the content of my own mind, it follows that all
the rest has to be in some some way a part of that knowledge. This is what in
philosophy is called ' the argument from analogy '.
That is, I can ( infer) assume that the behaviourpatterns/ the mental states
and the memetic activity inside my brain also occurs and is present in others.
The problem with this view is of course the notion that I should be the only
mind to known to exist_thus, how can I explain the presence of other minds !?
We did established that memes act in a solipsistic way, we do know also that
the brain can ' t ' see ' everything in one single moment, to give us a sense of reality it imagines a world together out of memories/ memes which are then
projected in front of us as the characterized environment where we at that
particualr point in time live in.
In order to keep ' my relaity ' vived and up to date the brain is constant acti-
vily scanning the outside world, somehow it pin points itself onto a subject, recalls/ reconstruct the info ( prior to the knowledge of the individual(s) concerned and
the peculiarities of each situation), places the whole into a context and throws it
back out again into the outside world as a snapshot of reality of that moment.
A picture of our world, which we do understand perfectly !!
But what about all the rest !? It is hardly understandeble that our brain have
made up all of the materialistic things which are surrounding us, even hard
and probably harder to understand is the concept of the others, what are they
and what are they doing here !?
As indicated as above, the mind can only pick up a given moment in time and
this abstraction is a small part of reality acquired by the human being which I am to respond to different stimuli. All the rest, then, has to be part of a materia-
lised memory/ imagination in order to shape, in an understaneble way, that
part of reality.
The logical way, somehow, is to pre- suppose the existence of a number infinite
solipsistic memeplexes which each in their direction, form, concept, relation,
atc...are part of mine individual personal and unique memory storage tank.
Somehow, analogous to the memeplex of my brain, they too, ( in casu the
others brains too) pin point theirselves onto a subject, processes the info and
send it back out again as a part of my ' reality '.
This is given the nature of memes not possible_ memes has no ' forsight ',
they can 't work independly from a brain. ( Experiments show however that
such conclusions should not be taken for granted )
Consequently, it follows that the others have to be ' brains ' too, created by
memeplexes in order to held all of the primary data which my brain acquires
to make up a secondary psychological concept which ultimally results into an
image of my reality.
To take a concrete example:- most of my holidays I spent in De Haan, a
coastal community not far from Ostend. Even before I iever begin to pack my
things together my brain has already assured itself of the necessarily imagetry, memeories and aspects, precisly those fundamental choises are made to get
me where I want to be ( primary).
Once there, and I stroll down the promenade, everything as I remerbered it,
is there (secondary)_ people, houses, children toys, the wind, the sunshine...
but the question has to be faced as to how of what I see is the same like
the last time !?
Some criteria are the same, others I perceive for the first time_like people who I meet, situations which are developing...The difficulty here, is to understand this.
How is it possible that things of which i know that they only exist as know-
ledge in my mind, change out there in the outside world !?
