A reminder that solipsism is the only answer to the vertiginous question.
There is only one thing and that thing is you.
>>
>>42208648
I believe this but I don't ever tell anyone. Too much in my life seems specifically designed around me.
>>
>>42208648
This shit is so braindead stupid I can't even be bothered to refute it.
>>
>>42208663
If it's braindead stupid then why has no one been able to refute it to this day?
>>
>>42208674
Because it is laughably easy to just make shit up that's irrefutable, all the time, and people do it all the time, and believe their own nonsense.

Just look at it from a categorical perspective. If someones trying to sell you on a philosophical paradigm thats 5 circles differently colored and that's supposed to be somehow significant, you're being duped.
>>
the question is, why am I me and not someone else?

this clearly points to a continuity in subjective experience through time. you don't suddenly migrate to someone else because your subjective experience is somehow attached to your body
>>
>>42208648
Solipsism is for for faggots who are too autistic to really talk to other and probe deep enough to decide if they’re real. Intentionally divisive psyop intended to isolate the real individuals while the hive-mind eco chamber faggots coalescence their ideas in peace.

>>42208648
Hi, (You). It's me, you.
>>
>>42208648
If the world was solipsistic I would control my reality, the fact that I can experience undesirable, unwanted stimuli that make me unhappy is proof that my consciousness doesn't control my reality and my reality is controlled by a consciousness that is separate from mind and hostile to mine. There has to be at least 2 consciousnesses in the world, mine and the one that opposes mine, but there probably aren't more than two.

If it's my imagination then I would have control over it and therefore the world and other people, if god's imagination is separate from mine then we're separate entities and it obviously is separate or I would have the same degree of control over the world as I do over my imagination. Not to mention my imagination is self-(ego)-centred whereas in real life I only get abused by others, their egos dominate mine meaning their egos are separate from my imagination, if it was MY imagination controlling reality then my reality would be as ego-self-centred as my imagination instead of being centred around the egos of others.

Me is me!
You is you!
Continuous subjective experience? Never heard of her!
Oh my gawd such insight much wow!
>your subjective experience is somehow attached to your body
I suggest we test this hypothesis with the author.

Yesterday I wiped my ass and a shit stained finger was attached to my subjective experience. I wrote my finding on a piece of paper and the brown stains on it prove the continuity of my experience!

>>42208648
Yep, I realized it while very high on weed. Weed, for sone reason, violently rips away the veil and shows you everything you need to know. At the time, it was very uncomfortable. I have slowly gotten used to it and integrated it. I set intentions of wanting to know the truth and got exactly what I asked for.
>>
>>42208850

Solipsism is undeniably true, the true question is: why am I creating all this, for what purpose?

When I die, will this world disappear or will I simply take on another person's perspective from the previous dream, like the egg analogy? I'm still searching for those answers.

Dave Mustaine?

I don't get this.
The world is experienced by me from my perspective. The world is experienced by you from your perspective, and same with everyone else out there. Why does the fact I have experiences mean I'm the only one who has experiences?

How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?

>The world is experienced by me from my perspective
Correct.
>The world is experienced by you from your perspective, and same with everyone else out there
You can't be sure about that, if you ask a dream character if he is conscious he will tell you that he certainly is, does it mean that your dream character has a conscious experience?

Solipsism COULD be true, but I don't get how it's the only answer to the issue that I have my own experiences and not other people's.
>>
>>42208648
If solipsism is true then this thread is/was probably a waste of time.
>>
>>42209376
Because solipsism isnt an answer to anything. It's just a recognition of a limit of epistemology.
>>
>>42208648
Then who are you trying to convince?
>>
>>42208648
but I didn't come up with this, and you're telling me this, so it's bunk.
>>
>>42208648
It’s easy to refute. There’s an anon who posts here who’s obsessed with the question and just ignores any reply that refutes it.

Myself in a past/future lifetime. If other people in this thread are conscious, it's probably because something like The Egg is true. Either I reincarnated as you or you reincarnated as me. My soul goes back in time every time I die.

I´d feel angry. Four-eyed rabbit btw.

>>42208648
The vertiginous question is based on the assumption that your consciousness lacks identity and is just a contingent fact as a result. However everything that exists has identity, including your consciousness, which means that your consciousness cannot act in a way that contradicts its own nature. This means that a particular consciousness couldn't be a different consciousness, since then it would be acting in a way that contradicts its own nature, and so you are necessarily yourself.

Let's ask Rene Descart his thoughts on solipsism.
