You realize everything you do is only possible because of taxes right? Roads, infrastructure, etc. A lot of what keeps this society running and your a...
April 01, 2023 at 22:47
Well it's not working. It's also kind patently clear that some parts of this are just flat out wrong or making leaps that don't really track, like why...
April 01, 2023 at 22:46
Though it’s getting better each day as I see the more nonsense arguments are for it: https://www.quora.com/Is-solipsism-unfalsifiable-and-therefore-sh...

This is the math one: http://bc.upjp2.edu.pl/Content/5621/35_PDFsam_Ca?o??%20ze%20znakiem%20wodnym3.pdf But if philosophical zombies were real then it...

Already explained how rights mean nothing without a legal and governmental body to recognize and give them, and a society. At this point it’s just wil...
April 01, 2023 at 17:49
There are no such rights. I just told you property has no meaning without a legal system and the recognition it brings. In fact that’s literally how i...
April 01, 2023 at 04:09
This is math and science not philosophy. It talks about the energy of a given object of mass, only an idiot would take that to mean everything is ener...
April 01, 2023 at 04:07
There would be no rights if the government fell. It doesn't matter what you say rights only exist because of society and government. Property only has...
April 01, 2023 at 03:54
Because rights only exist in the context of a wider society and governmental system. You have no power to give that, but people as a collective do.
April 01, 2023 at 01:55
No you can't.
March 31, 2023 at 23:36
I disagree. I think we do have a real version of ourselves, possibly by default. We also have an individual consciousness so long as you have a workin...
March 31, 2023 at 20:04
Right's only have any meaningful use in the context of a government and legal system with enforcement methods. What you argue for, ironically, is only...
March 31, 2023 at 18:36
I would push back and say that if they were philosophical zombies then yes that would change my experience of them. I'm fine more and more with the id...
March 31, 2023 at 17:48
Path number 2 has been pretty helpful in overcoming this. I'm also pretty sure that I have an obsession with it at the moment, same with anything else...

March 31, 2023 at 01:13
It's not me. Somehow despite all of this I still truly believe that other people exist, have other minds, etc. Though the accusations of being arrogan...
March 30, 2023 at 23:06
I know people told me to stop looking but I couldn’t help it ( I know I know) and came across this: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-chief-applicati...
March 30, 2023 at 18:36
Well what I think he means is that every axiom you make as a non solipsist can apply to a solipsist. And if the premises are solipsistically true then...
March 30, 2023 at 18:34
It's not so much the math as it is these things in the link: These three parts of the link which when read together sounds to me like all paths lead t...
March 30, 2023 at 17:22
What I meant is that do you mean we can’t really be certain of anything or that solipsism is true? I’m struggling to figure out what you mean.
March 30, 2023 at 01:25
I've tried to do that work but I just can't. I have to ask people to help me out because philosophy has always been something daunting to me that I ca...
March 30, 2023 at 00:17
I apologize for that. I have no earthly idea what it means by the math so I can't really comment. I just read the parts with the text but it didn't ma...
March 30, 2023 at 00:14
Do I just message them or something like that?
March 29, 2023 at 22:10
I'm not sure what you mean by that exactly. That doesn't help much but I think I can forget about it as long as I stop feeding it and focus on other s...
March 29, 2023 at 22:09
My "work" doesn't amount to much as a lot of philosophy just goes over my head with the arguments and writings. It's why when read that I couldn't rea...
March 29, 2023 at 17:51
I just REALLY need help with that one, and then after that I can just forget about it. Throw it all away and never look back. I'm tired of waking up e...
March 29, 2023 at 17:47
Please, I want nothing more in my life than to just forget everything I saw about solipsism and to just be happy. It’s why I need help with the math l...
March 29, 2023 at 17:20
That wasn’t me that was a Quora user and I’ll admit even I could see that his argument was literally nothing more than just a string of assertions tha...
March 29, 2023 at 16:45
I’m not a solipsist otherwise I wouldn’t be talking to other people and asking for their advice. I want to move past it but I want to make sure I’m no...
March 29, 2023 at 16:43
I read that post on other minds and I couldn’t understand it. But in my case the way out isn’t through. Every thing I’ve read just seems to erode my m...
March 29, 2023 at 16:30
I would suggest looking at the math one. You say to do confirmation bias but I like to cover my bases when dismissing something to make sure I didn't ...
March 29, 2023 at 02:31
At this point more philosophy I feel would just make things worse. That math one did a number on me and philosophy is what got me into this mess. Hone...
March 29, 2023 at 02:29
Actually reading that last one on the math reads like he just demonstrated that if someone believes it that there is nothing you can say to convince t...
March 29, 2023 at 02:19
posted but my concern is with the two recent links like the math one right above you. Or the one from Vernon press. This is the math one: http://bc.up...
March 29, 2023 at 01:26
Solipsism can be proven to be true and it also results in unavoidable contradition. Basically the end conclusion is that either I am the only thing th...
March 29, 2023 at 01:25
Forgot to add this too: http://bc.upjp2.edu.pl/Content/5621/35_PDFsam_Ca?o??%20ze%20znakiem%20wodnym3.pdf
March 29, 2023 at 01:08
Then you'd be wrong. I have done that but it hasn't worked out. Again that is not true. I am willing to be challenged but so far nothing that has been...
March 29, 2023 at 01:07

March 28, 2023 at 20:32
I told you have seen professionals before and nothing helped. Also I’m not sure this is it but I think I found a post that says it proves it: https://...
March 28, 2023 at 20:32
Except those addictions are grounded in reality and you can know they’re bad and serve nothing. It’s different from a philosophical position that not ...
March 28, 2023 at 16:08
I think this means you’re not reading what I’m writing and missing the issue I’m having. I’ve told you I challenged myself on this and it didn’t work....
March 28, 2023 at 16:05
I know the problem of not being able to find it. I’ve been looking but so far I’ve found nothing and I don’t want to come across some errant post abou...
March 28, 2023 at 15:52
Yeah, it all just comes back to that day that I can’t let go of for some reason despite all my efforts
March 28, 2023 at 15:50
That’s the issue. If you take needing certainty for knowledge then you really have nothing.
March 28, 2023 at 15:49
Then there are similar arguments like our brains hallucinating reality: https://www.quora.com/I-m-scared-that-I-will-take-my-life-some-day-because-of-...
March 27, 2023 at 20:59
Are those things also senses like the skin or skeleton, etc. I have tried going out and just being a thing and all that but it doesn’t work. Solipsism...
March 27, 2023 at 20:02
That doesn’t help at all nor get around the issue I’m having
March 27, 2023 at 20:01
I don't know, the issue I have is this one post on Quora that to me proved it. But i can't remember or find it or know what it was about or what it sa...
March 27, 2023 at 16:48
The solipsist could just say it’s their mind making other people act like that, but that’s just kicking the can down the road. They could appeal to th...
March 27, 2023 at 15:40
That’s true, if in over 2000 years I can’t find even ONE other proof of it then it’s unsolved and I am mistaken about what he said. But it doesn’t fee...
