This is hopeless.

Pardon?

Then you'd need to understand the difference between philosophy, doctrine, law, evidence, science, etc.

Elaborate, please.

In the realm of science. Or at least the books we read. Don't tell me you're planning to bring solipsism (a philosophy) into science or court ("your h...

Yes. Newton believed light wasn't a wave. He was proven wrong. I can be proven wrong. But from my equations, I'm pretty solid on my conclusion. Might ...

That sounds like a charge without evidence. To see what you mean. Perhaps you meant your way of thinking?

define it

I go to the grocery store to get fruits. Do I need to marry the cashier for that? What's wrong with self-serving social interactions?

Looks like @"Banno" has a personal vendetta for me being a radical individualist while him being a communitarian.

Looks like papers won't cut it. Need a book to cover everything. I don't think I quite caught what you meant.

No, I don't. Where was my question wrong? Yes, to myself. I wrote and sang a song for you by myself. You're free to give feedback. Yes, I'm forced to ...

I'm not in the mood for trolling, so I'd ask you politely to either get serious or find a different discussion.

ISN'T THAT WHAT PHILOSOPHY IS? Unless we're talking math (or science), my arguments don't have to be universally accepted. Philosophy is a higher form...

(a+b)^2 might have been a2+2.0045ab+b2 in some corner of the universe, but from our observation (practicality) or mathematical equations (theory), we ...

That's not the point. We're not separating anyone. I just said humans are programmed to be selfish. If some physical properties manage to be selfless,...

You're now swimming in solipsism. I don't see any point in arguing if you'd deviate from the OP.

Agnostics are skeptical about God; Solipsists are skeptical about Reality. No accepting, no denying. Just skeptical.

Don't remember when I ever was. No. What I argued was that you can't betray your self. Nothing more. Solipsism isn't even involved in this.

Your version of solipsism is not the one I follow. Something like anarchism vs libertarianism vs liberalism. Close, but different.

I never know FOR SURE. That's the idea. No accepting, no denying.

From my argumentative conclusion, all people are, and it's impossible not to be.

I'd like to know where it went wrong.

Again, people, this argument (OP) is not based on solipsism. Don't get distracted.

That's the general way of arguing. (Like, "you can't see a young lady and lose your composure."..."you" doesn't mean you in specific.) Nope. I'm intak...

I answered it here:

As a reference or background intro music. This argument isn't based on solipsism. Don't get distracted.

I see solipsism as the idea that we know nothing outside our heads, which creates the outside experience for us. Whether my yellow is your yellow, or ...

That's just one aspect of solipsism. I take it as an initial chamber. Which leads to the understanding that no matter what the truth is, you would nev...

The only selfless act would be when you deny yourself gratification, gain, achievement, everything, including your decision to deny self-interest to a...

Reality is subjective, dependent upon stimulus reception and intellectual perception.

Depends on perspective.

No, and no. I'm selfish. (P.S. I did read) As a solipsist, that's the core of my worldview.

@"Outlander" was right. You seem to fail to grasp it.

I fail to see where that's my problem. I do.

No. Exactly. Everything is about that one way or another. The self. Not. No one escapes it.

You serve your vision of a better world.

Care to elaborate?

Since I never said the intangible characteristics are direct elements of the physical universe, and that they're rather products or byproducts of phys...

Too ambiguous.

What would your proposed word be?

Whatever you choose ultimately serves your self. You choose which is the higher calling for you (eating—desire, packs—health). And each of the options...

Selfishness is self-interest (serving the self, whether by violating other selves or not, or whether putting others above, below, or at equal level or...

If he has XY chromosomes, yes.

Yes, but I don't support the idea of unions, especially the involuntary ones. Same as the social contract. That's the natural transgenderism. Must be ...

No offense, but that's horseshit. And as a radical individualist, I don't believe in community or culture. Transgender is having both male and female ...

I don't agree with this view. I have individual freedom to wear what I want, unless I'm breaking laws or protocols. My gender is solely tied to my sex...

How is cultural expression "gender"? I think you coined the definition yourself. If society can't force expectations on you, can you force definitions...

Yes. To me,men and women are sex. And what you designated as gender could be termed as hormonal traits.

Oh boy... we're differentiating sex from gender. I see. Well, apologies for wasting your time. I hope you find your answers.
