No it isn't. And again, you avoid the question. Yes we know atoms are mostly empty space, my question is so what? What point is there in knowing that?...
Again, way to avoid answering the question. Consciousness is not a mystery as we know it to be made by the brain. The mind does not exist. But no, con...
I feel like I don't have to explain how nonsensical that claim is. You can see the same objects I see and vice versa, this is easy to demonstrate. Exp...
Sadly I'm starting to be more of the view of Brett. It's not really creative if it isn't new or original, you are just copying from elsewhere. It's ha...
Nowhere, there would simply be no such thing as creativity as it's just replication. I mean you can't make something from nothing and everything made ...
Not what I am getting at by any stretch but ok. You say your reality is real to you but how do you know? I mean anti realism would be against such a c...
Doesn't sound like a great way of understanding perception since you are essentially arguing that reality isn't real, which then makes one wonder why ...
Except it isn't though. Even with the Picasso Dora Marr you can tell it's her, there isn't anything original about it. There is nothing deep or philos...
Hoffman is a quack from what I gather on his book and from the science community not to mention we wildly misunderstands the concepts he uses for his ...

It's honestly hard to get at what they are trying to say because most of their posts are a mess to read. Saying that properties of matter are not real...
Yeah that's why I found it to be stupid. He said no one can detect or understand truth, if that's the case then why make an argument for the truth of ...
This sounds more like the epistemological version of the argument but I can't say I agree that there is NO reason to believe other people are other mi...
I mean that's not what we think though. There are events that cause other events to happen but I don't think that anyone would argue that they exist i...
Yeah I got into it with this guy on a different forum and something smelled off about pretty much every reply of theirs. Mind you they sent me like 4 ...
Or if you want to get at the direct version of it: https://qr.ae/pNUkcv "The origins of Solipsism in Western Philosophy comes from the Greek Pre-Socra...
Well I was referring to the pages in general, mostly 4 and 5, which state that a belief in others is not warranted as we have no evidence for any of t...

That's not what the epistemological version states. It's just uncertainty about the existence or lack thereof of an external world/reality or other pe...
How is that muddled? Though consciousness implies there is something to be conscious of. Sensation implies input from externality. Though solipsism wo...
That seems to be the case. There is often confusion between the metaphysical and epistemological verisons. "I don't think that solipsism states that n...

As was stated above a modern philosopher cannot evade it under certain models. It's also not as ridiculous as it sounds: "I will begin by saying that ...
Except it is about issues with experience based logic as I have tried to show is the case here. Solipsism would also argue that all sensation that one...
That's not true though. Because there are others around me I am not alone. I don't think alone, and I hopefully won't die alone. But if solipsism were...
There's also some evidence from quantum physics to suggest solipsism: https://qr.ae/pNgq9Q https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_quantum_mechanic...
"In solipsism, only the mind exists. It is important to note that the mind refers not to the brain, or one's ego perception, but the totality of all t...
That's my case. I think that because something is logical that it must be true. I'm still getting used to the whole "valid but not true" thing. I mean...
No, the definition of self that you provided is enough and somewhat one the lines of what I think a self is as all. I know there is the argument of P-...
