This is the naïveté I was talking about that I don’t like from the pro side.

That’s where I foresee issues since children can’t really consent to it. I don’t have an answer for that

I did have that therapist but even then he tried to treat me like other autistic people he knew when I wasn’t. Like I said everyone is different. The ...

Well like I said it should be optional for those who don’t want to be like that anymore. Like I said it’s different for everyone so it should be left ...

I don't think that's accurate. Even if autistics were the majority they would still be disabled. Also much disability isn't caused with an ill fit wit...

I think you're getting off the point.

But all minorities aren't created equal. Like I have actual handicaps that limit and impact my life. For others it's just a matter of society not liki...

I mean yeah there are a variety of factors that go into this as we don't understand what the actual cause of it is. But assuming we did though is what...

I can't really relate to other autistic people. I'm in some weird middle ground where it's not terrible but not good either. And I HATE people saying ...

No reason to do the right thing because there is no one to help.

Well there would be no one to help or save, it would make no difference who suffers or how you treat others because there is no others.

I personally think that if all is "one" then that would pose a massive problem for ethics.

Not exactly. He's not advancing a wild argument that is indefensible but more like he grew up knowing one thing and seeing another needs to adjust. Sp...

I think it's an accurate fallacy and reflects a lot of the arguments you hear in the modern world today. A lot of the time some blatantly wrong and mo...

I want to ask how is solipsism unprovable, people say that but I want to know how. Why can’t science or logic prove it true? There was a post that I r...

No I mean the question of who created it literally has nothing to do with solipsism. It doesn't ask about the origin of the world or anything like tha...

That's irrelevant to the question.

Logic would not in fact dictate that. Just because something exists in your head doesn't mean you have control over it. Like I said, strawman.

Well I’m just saying that your point wouldn’t be an argument against them. I mean…they can just say it’s a figment of their mind. Asking them to accep...

Solipsist could just argue it was their mind making them aware of it. Whether you're born with it or not is irrelevant.

They are metaphysical though, that much is clear. Solipsism isn't about our knowledge of the world. Science cannot test it because it's a metaphysical...

Because they are just not. The whole issue with your argument is a based on a misunderstanding of the PZ thought experiment. So either deal with the e...

We actually do though, but that is not why you can't refute those ideas. Rather those are ideas science cannot test, as metaphysical claims we just ca...

It's pretty obvious what it is. Again, no that is not what the PZ thought experiment is based on. A feeling cannot occur without being consciously awa...

I already know you have no arguments against it.

I don’t know where you got 5% of the universe from but I think we had data that showed the edge of the universe so we understand more of it than you t...

Again not a real counterpoint.

That’s not what it means. It’s to argue against an alleged inner life that might be occurring in the person. They don’t have qualia, hence the wording...

What I meant is that the processing argument doesn’t hold, rather it only needs to “render” what is around you not the globe.

This point is still not true as when you realize they are a P Zombie then those things stop. It would have a bearing, especially since people can tell...

Again not an actual criticism. They would argue that they don’t have to be maintaining everything going on in their world just what they are aware of ...

Ah so you’ve got nothing then.

Again, bring an actual criticism of it.

You can ID it all you want that doesn't make it arrogant. Like I said, come up with actual criticisms like others have.

It's not, regardless of what you may think arrogance is not an implication. That's the ignorant response.

Absurdism isn’t even close to solipsism.

I mean that’s part of why solipsism is absurd. The concept of communication loses all meaning and purpose, everything really.

No one because there is no one else.

But they don’t talk to themselves.

So then you’re not really adding anything to the conversation.

A philosophical zombie by definition has no feelings and doesn’t care so it wouldn’t matter what gestures, words, etc they do because you know it’s no...

Failure of empathy is another false argument against it. You’re attacking their character when their character has nothing to do with it. There are be...

This is a false argument against it, it has nothing to do with being arrogant.

it actually is a good objection. If it’s a dream the car can’t hurt you and you could just make the car not or stop it yourself. I’ve been shot, stabb...

Solipsism, depending, is either skepticism or denial of anything else. It says nothing about being the author or creator of that reality. I don’t find...

That’s not what solipsism says, not even close.

I guess the issue comes in where even if you allege something as certain that is still just an assumption. Unless you have total omniscience then you ...

So we are products of our environment. That's not really news, it's been a thing in psychology for a while. There is some amount of evidence against t...

Yeah I figured that a bit ago, dude just seems like a troll.

Pretty sure roads and stuff are maintained through state funds. Also private companies suck at maintaining infrastructure, just look what happen in Eu...
