Technically it is not considered a "mental disorder" but it is part of diagnostic criteria like introversion, nihilism, antagonism, paranoia etc. That...

I'm not inventing anything: solipsism is classified as mental disorder, feral state, speculated state at infancy, and an individual/ subjective/metaph...
February 12, 2023 at 23:06
Why do you think solipsism is something other than its manifestations? Because that is how it is conventionally understood? The convention is an illus...
February 12, 2023 at 22:12
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
February 12, 2023 at 20:37
The standard you are holding solipsism to is not what it is but its absurd eventual conclusion. If you are asking if anyone can prove the absurd event...
February 12, 2023 at 19:12
It does, and it has. It may not be true by modern philosophical ideals, but it is a true force of nature. I didn't say that it was. However, indirect ...

I would have used '=' signs rather than ':', but I get the message.
February 12, 2023 at 16:41
You are performing a reducio ad absurdum, taking solipsism to it's extreme conclusion to refute it. Indirect realism can be reduced to the absurd by t...

If you look at it as sarcastic it's wit, but that was unironically agreeable to me.
February 12, 2023 at 14:46
This is a key topic in the prevailing ethos of anti-schizophrenia. The first issue is that, of course, solipsism is a phenomenon of indirect realism. ...
February 12, 2023 at 12:07
Solipsism can be about metaphysics. If one is the only person with a false/irrational belief, then one has to transcend "go beyond" the physical reali...
February 12, 2023 at 00:08
1 If I'm missing the point I apologize for derailing. I just wanted to state my position that solipsism is not a perspective where truth is relevant, ...
February 11, 2023 at 21:47
You're looking for solipsism as the absolute standard for experience, and that is not what it is. Anyone can tell you the individual mind acknowledges...
February 11, 2023 at 18:18
Proving solipsism true is anti-solipsistic. Philosophy deals with intersubjective agreement of other minds. That there is 'intersubjective agreement',...
February 11, 2023 at 11:02
Orange is psychiatry, it is a focus on natural law (science) of individual behavior especially in adapting adjusting to modernity ( but it us also the...
February 08, 2023 at 09:58
'it' is the philosophical problem you are having that perhaps makes Deleuze et al. attractive to you. But maybe on closer inspection it may not align ...
February 07, 2023 at 20:01
Its however you understand it. You can understand it simply by knowing thyself and thy enemy, without these major interpretations.
February 07, 2023 at 15:56
In terms of the code I have described, which is only a piece of it, if you look at modernity/ capitalism as based on rational idealism, Descartes's ra...
February 07, 2023 at 02:32
Rorty said something interesting in his book about irony "Skeptics like Nietzsche have urged that metaphysics and theology are transparent attempts to...
February 07, 2023 at 01:27
That is very poetic, but I am not so poetic right now. I look at the body without organs as a common schizo delusion, the psychiatric name I can't rem...
February 07, 2023 at 00:17
I'm the same way with Deleuze... Marxism has an analogy of consciousness to material conditions. Part of the hegelian dialectic, and the alienation of...
February 03, 2023 at 20:44
Yes, the concept of anomie is meant to address social problems.
February 02, 2023 at 23:03
Anomie is the wrong kind of word to use actually. It is a functionalist theory tends to conceptualize things as problematic, so that the problem has a...
February 02, 2023 at 22:38
I am anomic, but I am not for or against it. I would prefer that the rational order of society was more critical, so that a person who is critical doe...
February 02, 2023 at 20:00
I believe in rational oppressions. If you think broadly of psychiatry not as the contemporary medical science but as a progression of the history of t...
February 02, 2023 at 17:32
Yes, work has to be done. Science comes from ancient industrial way of thinking, and scientific objectivity has worked its way into psychological and ...
February 02, 2023 at 13:55
This rather poorly composed post was meant to make several points: irony is a phenomenon of indirect reality; irony is the form of forms: the complete...
February 01, 2023 at 17:24
That is reasonable of Socrates to not claim he possesses the divine knowledge, but still ironic that without true knowledge can still prove the falsit...
January 29, 2023 at 16:56
I entertain the idea that schizo is the manifestation of irony that was once in the premodern viewed as divine and the same manifestation of forms tha...
January 29, 2023 at 16:45
No your interpretation is biased towards descartes. You don't know Descartes didnt torture dogs, you have grounds to doubt it as it is an accusation a...
January 28, 2023 at 14:15
As you may or may not have noticed I dislike Descartes, and his legacy in the world. Whether Descartes actually tortured dogs as an expression of his ...
January 28, 2023 at 12:42
I would argue the same thing that there is relativistic rationality. There is a high standard for 'ability' in modern society. Some people are not abl...
January 27, 2023 at 15:16
Yes, clearly on topic. I'm thinking that color is not inherently meaningful, but the signification of color is made by their association to objective ...
January 27, 2023 at 14:02
The point is to discuss symbols as code that are between natural law and subjectivity. That is if a picture of colors needs a point if subjectivity is...
January 26, 2023 at 19:34
I'm pretty rigid in the ironic ecotone of world and idea where there is some kind of actuality, world and the mind or some aether of forms and the sou...
January 26, 2023 at 19:06
Rose colored glasses in this thread. Modernity has been a quarterly Cartesian axis of increasing rationality over time, decreasing irrationality, and ...
January 26, 2023 at 04:37
It is difficult to understand how Descartes can be the architect of a modern system that simulates in each rational modern agent his incompassion in t...
January 26, 2023 at 03:07
It's an interesting topic. I agree with your theory. Maybe I think in a too philosophical and abstract way for a nonphilosopher, but it is in metaphys...
January 24, 2023 at 09:48
Seems to be the case. The Matrix film hasn't really caused anyone to notably form a resistance against the machines, whatever those may be. The film i...
January 21, 2023 at 23:56
Yes antipsychotics can be both pills. A red pill of Cartesian scientific skepticism, and a blue pill you take to keep you from resisting an establishe...
January 21, 2023 at 15:54
'Analytical', very nice. My plane is landing. Might reply later.
January 11, 2023 at 22:33
I enjoyed that. It's an interesting topic logic+empiricism. I notice that your empirical knowledge is someone's writing. It is not logic but it is rat...
January 11, 2023 at 22:17
The countervailing power of irony against rationalism is interesting. Irony has a quasi-rational form but it ultimately undermines rationality. Everyo...
January 11, 2023 at 21:05
The superimposition of the evil genius interpretation over the demon in Descartes work is an object of possible speculation. I am satisfied right now ...
January 11, 2023 at 19:58
Of course the pursuit of this demon by Cartesian dissection of the new dually parted mind and body and a refined scientific perspective for the study ...
January 11, 2023 at 18:56
As a general thesis, that modern rationalism oppresses the irrational is fairly easy to accept. That all proceeding modern psychology does so, is chal...
January 11, 2023 at 13:12
Just to leave a post script to this one-off idea, it is a result of speculation to fill in the gaps in the complex of premodern- irony-modernity-orang...
January 10, 2023 at 17:07
I understand that, and I don't expect something I wrote in five minutes to change anything about that. However I do believe this very action is motiva...
January 09, 2023 at 21:49
Yes mis/knowledge is a tool by the irrational force of the will. If you take a leap and conceptualize the Will as shizophrenia which is a withdrawn so...
January 09, 2023 at 20:02
I have further thoughts on this conception of Will to Power that relate to my anti-schizophrenic thesis. If 'schizophrenia' is an extension of the irr...
