How do I stop behaving like a solipsist?

    Glaives are better.
    That's a common misconception. Occam's Razor is that the explanation that makes the fewest assumptions is more likely to be the best one. Descartes wasn't ASSUMING that everything he experienced was a lie; he just didn't discount the possibility that his senses could deceive him.

    Tnu:-Looks it up-

    Hmmm...I don't think it fits me.

    Hatter: I know that, I was reading about the razor yesterday.

    "Things exist independent of each other" makes far less assumptions than "someone is pulling the strings".

    I don't know it sounds a lot like Objects In Space.

    I'm a neo-post-deconstructionalist.

    Another disagreement with Solipsism I have is that I can feel everything around me. I can sense it. I have organs sensing things and a brain interpretating that. Are you telling that it's all smoke and mirrors? Fuck that.

    If I observe it, it exists. If someone else observes it, it exists, because they exist and observe it. All things exist regardless of observing them, in fact. It is impossible for an object to not exist because I observe that it exists.

    I agree with Solipsism because I cannot understand other people's pain or stress. I don't know what they are thinking and I can't control them.

    Yes, but if you have gone through similar things, you have at least a somewhat similar understanding.

    And even if you haven't, empathy is a natural trait nearly all humans have.

    By Thor guys.... =(
    You're going the wrong way.
    I need to assure myself that I do not exist, not that everything else does...  not that the word "exists" has any meaning anyway. I mean I'm inclined to believe that there is "something" ... but that any definition you could imagine to give that something would be false. That form and function are just temporary abstractions.
    And then I get that little voice in my head sayin "I want a cake" ...
    Then I gotta be all shouting at it that we've been over the cake thing enough... The baked confectionary is a fallacy, and I don't want one anyway because I'm not and it isn't either.
    Stupid cake. Stupid voice in head.
    I'ma go put on my t-shirt with the mantra on the back.

    I need to assure myself that I do not exist,



    1. Build a time machine.

    2. Go back in time and kill Descartes.

    3. Profit.

    No, just an annoying hipster who finds love disgusting and makes stupid rape jokes.

    You can change. You can.

    This post is incredibly funny, considering who's speaking...

    Solipsism isn't the belief that you exist. Stop wrecking secular things.

    So what is it then, if you have the answers?
