It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, really. What do the masses
think?
************************************************************************
This is a fun mental exercise-- rminds me of the "what if you are a
brain in a jar?" discussions that are designed to just freak you out.
Personally-- sorry to sound like a stick in the mud-- I don't think,
whether you choose a reality that's virtual or real, it would have any
impact on memetics.
It just puts you at one level of abstraction-- it's an aloof position, a
seperation from the "world" that reminds me of monastic practices.
That being said-- I ahve to also say-- because I now know what you do
for a living Alex-- that you cannot build an artificial memeshpere or
virtual reality. I have gone into that in greater detail in a previous
post.
The thing that is missing from your A-memesphere is the memesphere. Just
like the AfterDark aquarium screensaver is missing two things-- water
and fish.
