Memetic Horizon

Modern science has caught up to the philosophy of the
nineteenth century. Studies of the brain by sensory
depravation and split brain procedures have yielded no
evidence of a consistent sense of self. In fact,
philosophicly, we have no objective Self. In "Being
and Nothingness" Sartre argues that Selfawarness is
afforded only through a negation of being.

Our illusionary Self is derived from amorphous
memories, memories which are products of sensory data.
The Human brain starves for such data, for a
desperate sense of identity, and if it is not satiated
it makes up stimulus as seen in depravation chambers
and dreams.

This line of though leads to solipsism. Sartre bent
his thesis' to avert such conclusion, though his
argument was that solipsism can't be true thus his
view must be right.

=====
It is indubitable that at present that I exist as an object for some German of other. But do I exist as a Frenchman, as a Parisian in the indifferentiation of the collectives or in my capacity as this Parisian around whom the Parisian population and the French collectivity are suddenly organized to serve for him as ground? For this I will only get bits of probable knowledge although they can be infinitely probable.Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness
