Subjectively I'd usually agree with that, unless I was going through one of
my "consciousness is a bit of an illusion really" phases. Or one of my "I'm
fucking tired" phases, actually. But then again, pro-conscious memes are
bound to have a headstart over anti-consiousness memes, because people who
enjoy comatose states would be less effective as vectors of memes.
What's the level of agreement on "there is no such thing as absolute,
knowable, non-cultural-group-specific truth"? I think we should start our
maxims nihilist & self-contradictory, then work our way up.
