“One might even propose all intelligent minds in the universe are disembodied brains with complete sets of memories that randomly fluctuated out of chaos rather than evolving conventionally from a relatively orderly past. If everyone’s minds are suspect, one might never be able to tell whether one’s model of the universe is viable or not.”
This is where you end up when you have to rely on your own wisdom.
Lord, I think I have seen enough.
“If everyone’s mind is suspect, one might never be able to tell whether one’s model of the Universe is viable or not.”
Didn’t the philosopher David Hume (or Home?) say pretty much the same thing back in the 17th or 18th Century?
