Ehh, radiation, how does it work?
May 21, 2019 at 01:30
Never got into GOT, given that the whole franchise was spawned out of a desire to troll people. Now, I can't wait for HBO's Chernobyl miniseries airin...
May 20, 2019 at 23:28
Well, to go all Zen on you, let me answer by asking another question. Does agency matter at all in a solipsistic world? I mean, within the set or doma...
May 20, 2019 at 14:15
Well, here's a rough draft. We all dream. The world we inhabit within our dreams is a solipsistic one. Dream entities are created from our memories, a...

Back a long time ago in a forum far away, I began my philosophical beggings with the claim that we are all indeed god's* in a solipsistic manner. Have...

Read some Marx. I find his analysis astonishing in its depth and rigour. He really does confront the problem of the desire to change the world.
May 20, 2019 at 05:36
Depends on how you contextualize this. If you equate His/Her/Its omniscience with the world, then there is nothing apart from the World and God is a s...

Well, backtracking on my limited knowledge of Spinoza, this raises the concept of necessitarianism. If everything that is the case can only be true in...
May 20, 2019 at 02:11
Well, this goes deep into the realm of epistemology and what constitutes knowledge. But, not to profess sophistry, I suppose we can assert that episte...
May 19, 2019 at 14:57
Hypothetically, yes. Although, the act of endowing us with a free will would contrive with this line of reasoning. Again, I'm basing all of this on th...
May 19, 2019 at 14:48
Well, you, we, all of us, seem to miss the point about there being no "self" in a solipsistic world. Thus, "minds" kinda go *poof*.
May 19, 2019 at 14:42
No, no, good Sir. Only God is a true solipsist. So, we are all just figments of God's imagination, until God wakes up and decides to start playing pee...

The farmers made us a wallowing hole the other day. It was a fun day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEJIeX9DwzA Good times.
May 19, 2019 at 12:36
Not true. God is the ultimate solipsist. You are merely an avatar posing as God.

May 19, 2019 at 00:34
I laid out my reasoning here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/290567 As to the question about solipsism and pure realism, I recall h...
May 19, 2019 at 00:06
Yes, we are. As to the implicit question as to why there is something rather than nothing... Well, that question is such a tongue twister, that I dare...
May 18, 2019 at 23:58
Yes, that is my starting premise. Yes, this is where I think Spinoza's pantheism fails or at least implies solipsism. In fact, any form of pantheism l...
May 18, 2019 at 23:56
Please expand. What do you mean?
May 18, 2019 at 23:34
Yes; but, God is a solipsist or not?
May 18, 2019 at 23:28
Because it's an interesting thought experiment. Despite the amusing quality of having God as a solipsist, which seems inherently true, how do you go a...
May 18, 2019 at 23:17
I'm returning to this thread after almost a year. I have come to the conclusion that God is the only true solipsist. However, given that God can do an...
May 18, 2019 at 22:01
No, God is a solipsist. He/She/It literally cannot doubt. God cannot doubt. I can provide an epistemic proof that for any solipsist, epistemically the...

Chimppigs degree of masculinity and effeminate qualities causes much confusion. It has the power to confront the ubermensch in its eternal reoccurrenc...
May 18, 2019 at 06:39
Yes, you understand the ChimpPig.
May 18, 2019 at 06:27
Yes. ChimpPig begets PigChimp. It never ends.

*cluck*
May 17, 2019 at 19:15
Yes, PigChimp or ChimpPig is a relic of our past. How does one address it is a conundrum?
May 16, 2019 at 20:17
Yeah, and here I take my bow and leave with some semblance of dignity.
May 15, 2019 at 18:55
Trump comes off to me as a human being, although with flaws, just like anyone else. Clinton and Biden have their prerogatives and frankly I'll come of...
May 15, 2019 at 18:33
Yeah, define best... Go figure.

A book... Wish I could even read those.

Although, I should say that neo-cons like Bush and the like, fundamentally hate Trump for sabotaging Jeb's chance at the Bush dynasty. So, too the Cli...
May 15, 2019 at 06:29
Here's my take from my plebian perspective. Trump is trying to imitate Reagan through adherence to neo-conservative economic thought. There's also a l...

As far as I'm aware it's a matter of our sentience and intelligence that allows us to adapt and change our behavior. We have a unique feedback mechani...

Then there are the obvious ties between Nazi Germany and their reification of the Holy Roman Empire, along with their crusade against the Jews. https:...

I've researched the issue about ties between the Nazi leadership and Christianity, and what I've found is that Hitler exploited Christianity to furthe...

The thread lacks focus. Could you distill what you're trying to get at?
May 14, 2019 at 22:08
I don't know if this is psychoceramics, or not. Someone tell me how anyone could trivialize social dynamical insight into a matter of psychoprofundity...

So, finally, CNN or FBI is calling white supremacism, as terrorism. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/14/us/white-supremacy-terrorism-soh/index.html

I think I'll continue wallowing contently while puffing on my cigarette. *Wallows with grace*

OK, now we are talking about identity consolidation, am I correct? And, if I am, then I don't see how any escape is possible, as you say. It's all the...

I'm happy for no reason. Such a great feeling.
