Believing that the world is stagnant and that the memories one is currently thinking of are false, and that the memory of having more memories is false, seems to be a simple explanation to the universe.

Not in the sense that I have in mind.

"more likely to result in true beliefs."

Unfortunately, this still doesn't solve the problem. You're trying to doubt everything, even logic itself. What makes you think the concept of "truth" is even meaningful?
