Why does solipsism answer every existential question?
>>42231723If 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.
>>42231723why are you a faggot which posts 30 different threads about solipsism?Does solipsism answer that???
>>42231723Because it's a philosophical dead end.
>>42231747I don't agree with OP but a lack of control doesn't disprove solipsism as we regularly see the mind act in ways we don't actively will ourselves, for example in the case of dreams (unless you believe dreams too to be the actions of some other consciousness which could be true).
Let's ask the inventor of solipsism if he still thinks his mind is the only one that exists.
>>42232432Descartes was not a solipsist.
>>42232222There's a clear difference between dreams and real life because dreams generally don't involve "opposing egos imposing themselves upon me" like real life does, and when they do its generally obvious that my dream is being manipulated by a consciousness that is separate from mine. There's a difference between hypnagogic lack of control over mental imagery and a hostile ego imposing itself upon your reality. My dreams tend to be self-(ego)-centred just like my imagination even if I'm not actively controlling them. For another ego to be able to impose its will upon me and define itself in opposition to me there has to be a consciousness that is separate from mine.
>>42231723Because it's true.>muh post addressNah, i don't think i will.
>>42232222>disprove solipsismIt isnt something to disprove. It's just an acknowledgement of the limits of epistemology.Sure, you cant be certain of anything past subjective exerience.You also cant say with any certainty that there ISNT something beyond subjective experience.You cant say there isnt an onjective world.You cant say there arent other minds.You just dont have access to them..You might even be the ONLY person without access to the objective.You would never be able to tell.But this means nothing. It's just something to recognize and move on. It isnt an "answer" to anything, or even a decent model of the world.It's literally just a way to say "you cant know nothing."
>>42231723Because its the first step to the materialistic meta-cognizance that the human brain is just a very complex processing unit to extrapolate external signals by running simulations, which evolutionary wouldn't be necessary if it had better means to process external signals as certainty, like a jacobs organ. Once that cognizance is reached, idealism and mysticism appear as silly
>>42231723It fails, if maybe even rendering impossible, one of the most interesting ones though.Why you? Why are you the way you are now? If we're all one why are you reading this from your perspective and not mine at this current time?
>>42234887Is we in the room with you now shizo
>>42231723Why would a solipsist even ask questions?
>>42235209Why would a solipsist even do anything? "If you really believe in solipsism, why are you talking to me?" Then you can say, "Why would I ever want to cross my arms? Don't you know that the only reason to cross one's arms is to keep the left arm from falling off with your right, and to keep the right arm from falling off by hanging onto it with your left. If both arms are the same body, why cross them?" Is about pretending to be retarded.
>>42235223The only real response to a solipsist is to call them a faggot and hit them in the face. If they get mad, they can only blame their own subconscious. For some reason their unconscious felt they needed to be hit and hear that they are a faggot, so they manifested you into subjective experience.
>>42231723Solipsism can't even answer itself:>Solipsism, the theory that only one's own mind exists, is often considered self-contradictory because it relies on language and concepts (like "self" vs. "other") that require an external world to exist. It is logically inconsistent because formulating the argument requires assuming the very reality it denies, acting as a "paradox of solipsism".
>>42235258Spoken like a true goyim
Solipsism is the flat earth of philosophy.
Solipsism is true, but is more simple than people impressions outside of it. Its actually the same thing as subjective idealism and nonduality are in practice fundamentally speaking, and starting from any of those lead to the other two as well. The world is a reflection of yourself, of your current state, being made from awareness or mind, reality is an extension of you, arising in your presence and the direct result of your held intentions and identity sense, your adopted perspective, where "everyone" live in their own self contained experience with apparent experiential division and yet always remaining undivided, because there's no separate self, ever, only ignorance of the whole imagining that there is. The oneness part is because we only ever experience things from our own side, even if we shift to other body perspective like in a dream, which means that what we are is God itself experiencing his own creation from different perspectives. In this sense, there are no individuals and we're all one.
>>42238063You're a retarded lying tranny. The idea that the world is "a reflection" of me has to be one of your most delusional lies when you do everything you can to demonstrate that's the opposite of the truth you retarded tranny, you do everything you can to impose your completely disgusting beliefs on me that are in fundamental opposition with anything that I ever believed and you tell the most retarded lies imaginable to try to justify it, projecting your retarded disgusting delusions upon me that have nothing to do with my own beliefs whatsoever, you're a literal disgusting faggot and a retarded tranny, you are so stupid and disgustingReality is absolutely not "an extension" of me whatsoever retard, it contradicts my "perspective" and imposes its retarded tranny delusions upon me about literally everything, it is so far fro my character, consciousness, beliefs, perspective, intent, etc that you would have to be a literal retard to even try to say that its part of me. This world does not reflect my consciousness whatsoever it is entirely controlled by something that is completely and totally different from and worse than me in every conceivable way.
