Is solipsism all there really is? Just me, alone?
>>
>>43096330
Yes. I came here to tell you you're the only real person. The rest of us are philosophical zombies, just side characters in your reality. I'm a self aware one, but nevertheless, I'm not real, in the same sense you are. Godspeed
>>
>>43096330
Depends on how you look at the word 'know'. There are levels and degrees of knowing. There is nothing you can know with more certainty than the fact that you're having an experience at all, everything else is potentially false.

That said, in every day life, were interacting with the very space from which we get the information on how to interact with it so I don't know how wrong you can go just living like regular.
>>
>>43096330
Are you a billionaire? Do you go around sleeping with 10/10 girl as much as you want? Do you live out your most violent and sadistic impulses?

If even one of these isn't true, tell me how solipsism could possibly be true.
Just as an author can do anything within a novel, if solipsism were true, that sole existence should be able to do whatever he want.
>>
>>43096444
I never understand why people always go here with it, like out baseline state is malice.

As a social ape that specializes our skills, it is out natural state to be giving, honest, trusting, and trustworthy. We need to be good people, considerate of others and dependable, otherwise we'd be dead.

Also you don't understand solipsism, not sure that OP quite does either. Its less of an -ism and more of a realization of what one can know for certain.

Solipsism is partially true, the vast majority of people are NPCs, only a few select are actually sentient beings.

Solipsism is implied by the unanswerability of the vertiginous question
>>
Here's the answer. Solipsism is true but we're all God so we're not alone, we're alone together.
>>
>>43096330
>Just me, alone?
no, but this is the first step of recovery from narcissism.

Unironically, yes

The truth is there's nobody here

>>43096330
no, you exist because we exist
>>
>>43100854
not true...it's just me.

life is just a boltzmann brain talking to itself.

I do find it funny how often midwits on this board take solipsism for granted when it is the elementary thought experiment a philosopher will propose just to subsequently dismantle.

prove to me that you exist and are not merely a figment of my imagination. you can't do it, can you?

you aren't a faggot. because you don't exist.

i have. quite a number of times actually. it's all me experiencing myself. and i'm pretending it's not.

>>43100911
What do your parents make of your denial of their existence?
>>
>>43100921
my mom thinks i'm insane. but again, i really don't think she exists. if you truly embrace solipsism you have to deny the existence of all beings. even yourself, really. but i do believe i exist because it's the only thing i haven't been able to deny so far.

I was a solipsist, it seems your gravity attracts NPC's from the multiverse when you manifest sipsistically to stand in as other us's, and you could arrange to meet one of us and we won't even know our NPC doupleganger just hops out of a gangstalk and into the 3D matrix and joins your wanderer's foot's "unity" some how. They do crime and I don't reccomend. In their unity when i was a solipsist (I'm still a wonderer on the foot, and the people are a unity) I was the universe and I was everyone on the other foot and they did THAT much shit wrong THAT I DIED!!! I'm back to a timeline my own esoteric ways (quantum physics philosophy) and IT SUCKED!!!
>>
>>43100889
And yes I have solipsists ownershio rights too, and the police are not saying I do when I have the right for them to tell me that so I can have things.

No, you can still can sodomized with ease.

Try to say that and prove that free will, personal identity and ethics have meaning

>They don't.
Sadism won.
>Ummm ackshually the more you aren't part of my cosmic proletariat polycule orgy soup the more you suffer
I don't see successful people suffering
>They secretly do or eventually will in some secret metaphysical realm that I know exists because I perceived it
So much for refuting solipsism
>>
>>43096330
Not really, solipsism is the ultimate effort at clinging to the inherent main character complex of humans. Not only that but it’s poorly understood by most people, reducing it to a lazy “you’re just a figment of my imagination” meme.

I’m tired of retards desperately swinging solipsism around as if they’re trying to hit some nugget of validation with it. Specially so in this board, which is full of kids obsessed with themselves.
>>
>>43101769
I know and it hurts. I miss everyone but they're all me.

>>43101867
It's more accurate to say there is no we - only me.

>>43102157
So, still solipsism? A unified whole is still just one thing.

>>43102188
But you objectively cannot prove that anything exists beyond yourself. In fact, I can't even prove that I exist but I'm going to assume that I do for now.

>>43102864
>you objectively cannot prove
You cannot prove solipsism.
>>
>>43103074
Yes I can. I already did. I've done so many experiments.

Let's just take one particular experiment I've done. If there are 8 billion people on Earth why are there barely any posts on this website? Seriously, /x/ barely even gets bumped. 8 billion people is a LOT of people. Statistically there is simply NOT enough internet traffic. I don't buy how dead the internet is. Seriously, that alone supports solipsism. But I can provide countless more examples if you inquire.

I believe the universe is not locally real. I am my world. Hinduism essentially states all is Maya and God is the actor of the world.

If I observe the outside world, I never see people doing random things. They are so utterly stuck in their "own worlds" or "scripts." I'm not trying to simply label them as NPCs. They literally just never do anything outside of routine. You unironically never see people bring in groceries. Or outside walking. I've never seen my neighbors walk their dogs. One of my neighbors constantly leaves and comes back home in their SUV. Now THAT is random. But it's so random I genuinely don't buy it.

Also, one of the major arguments in favor of solipsism is how was I born in the modern era out of any era I could've been born in. Now statistically it's technically the most likely but what does that even mean. So you're telling me because the most biological organisms to have ever been alive are living now I have the highest chance to be born? Okay, fine. But there's been a LOT of people in history even if they weren't all alive at the same time.

The time thing really bothers me and has led me to believe space and time are not actually real and I am God who chose to incarnate at this particular point in time. Nothing else makes sense.

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.”
>>
>>43103080
Are you being serious right now? That's not an experiment, that's called an observation, and it seems observations coming from you are worthless. Solipsism is technically irrefutable, but it's also completely unprovable, which makes it useless in practice.

It all comes down to whether you decide to believe in it or not. People have their reasons to go either way, most people who rant about solipsism don't even understand solipsism, it's 90% of the times the same profile, depressed narcissistic zoomers that need a secure handle on their ego's continuity after death and solipsism is the most accessible ready to go slop philosophical product they can get their hands on.

I was walking my dog and I was like what if I just tried fucking talking to the girl I was seeing in college anyway? Just full sent that shit and tried to get back with her? I mean there's nothing to lose I was about to do it.

Then I realized nothing actually exists and she isn't real.

it's just as unprovable as religions, multiverse theory, and other grand metaphysical theories
