Let me ask a question. Can the mind teach itself? Is there any environmental system that abstracts from itself?
Let us suppose that you eventually acquire enough information to learn that you are not dealing with just your own mind--would that mean that the myths of man are real? I dont think so. What you learn in the state is all you actually know. Perhaps you will figure it out.
Let me ask you this, if telepathy were real, and life were abundant in the galaxie, could savage minds be set free in such a society? Or would they have to be tended, like children?
PS. The most dangerous part of our psychology is making assumptions about that which we do not know. Look at religion in general and think about all those who tossed away their life assuming they were too special to be let to die. Part of learning, an important part, is being aware of knowing and not knowing.
