Properly basic in what sense? It's not like "Cogito ergo sum"; I can deny without contradiction that my memories correspond to reality.
Additionally, basic beliefs--whether 'proper' or not--are not justified by other beliefs. That is, in what sense do your memories 'prove' that they are reliable?

If you think epistemology is a pointless discussion, then you must not be interested in knowledge. I haven't really seen any convincing arguments for ignorance before; care to offer yours?
