This may be hopelessly simplistic, but if (as Richard Brodie says),
"The Level-3 mind realizes that NO meme is True," isn't this mind
accepting the meme "There is no absolute truth"? In all seriousness,
this is the same problem I have with Robert Anton Wilson: it seems
to be absolutist claim that there are no absolutes. This means there
is at least one meme/belief that is still accepted as true. Related
to this, on what basis does such a mind decide that a meme is
useful? Where do its goals come from?
