What do you mean?
January 28, 2020 at 04:33
To a solipsist, the only universe that exists is one in which their self is the same with the world. Does that make more sense? That's true; but, we c...
January 28, 2020 at 04:31
Are you also considering the multitude of multiverses also? Yeah, I know, uncountable or countable? Seems to me that determinism is inescapable either...
January 28, 2020 at 04:24
I meant that it is either uncountably infinite or continuously expanding.
January 28, 2020 at 04:18
See my response to ZhouBoTong
January 28, 2020 at 04:11
I don't think the process can keep on going on forever unless there truly are no limits to wants. But, at that point it would be the same as saying th...

What happens when a union is perfected?
January 28, 2020 at 04:02
So, the differences are superficial? A world where everyone gets what they want can only exist in an infinitesimally small timeframe; but, for that mo...
January 28, 2020 at 03:54
What were you trying to say, then?
January 28, 2020 at 03:44
Because if panpsychism is true, then nobody would want anything more than what they have. I know, it sounds like communism or some such; but, this is ...
January 28, 2020 at 03:40
Yep, a perfect world, is one where nobody wants anything more, at which point everything then HAS TO become deterministic.
January 28, 2020 at 03:24
You read that PDF I sent you? It seems to point towards panpsychism.
January 28, 2020 at 03:17
It can be both...
January 28, 2020 at 03:13
But, think about this... can a solipsist recreate the world in a more perfect form? This verges on my other topic about intelligent design and solipsi...
January 28, 2020 at 03:12
One where things could have happened differently.
January 28, 2020 at 03:05
I think it more as an issue of countably infinite alphabets versus uncountably infinite alphabets as an analogy.
January 28, 2020 at 03:03
Well, that seems inconceivable if no consensus can be attained, and that seems even harder to assess than had 7 billion people living in their own wor...

Think of a solipsist arising within a simulated world. If, then, what?
January 27, 2020 at 19:54
I guess it will take some time. I'm so fucking tired right now.
January 27, 2020 at 19:50
I guess I gazed into the abyss for too long. Yeah, I saw a person eating their own shit. I saw thing you know. How do I decompress without imploding? ...
January 27, 2020 at 19:24
No, not jail. Just to a psychiatric hospital.
January 27, 2020 at 19:12
Voluntary commit to an institution? I'm not making this shit up.
January 27, 2020 at 19:10
I'm still waiting for answers.
January 27, 2020 at 18:43
Fine... Who does a triple agent work for?
January 27, 2020 at 17:31
If an entity becomes a solipsist, then isn't that tantamount to becoming a (lower-case-g)od? With the caveat that this entity cannot prove to itself t...
January 27, 2020 at 16:26
It's rather transcendental rather than provable.
January 27, 2020 at 15:58
I'll let you rethink that a little. No, I would actually be propounding, and exalting it!
January 27, 2020 at 15:52
It really isn't that complicated. Although, those two are pretty cool, yes?
January 27, 2020 at 15:50
Because of solipsism it must be pantheism.
January 27, 2020 at 15:44
It must be pantheism.
January 27, 2020 at 15:43
So, then are there just two branches needed in sum total of possible world's?
January 27, 2020 at 06:58
If Bernie Sanders wins, I hope someone smears a shit on Chomskys face for the fatalism and doomy outlook on US domestic affairs.
January 27, 2020 at 06:31
No, this process is non-linear, and hence, at any moment the wavefunction may collapse and differentiate realities from (again) non-linear ones. Or in...
January 27, 2020 at 06:18
Here's another one: What happens when a double agent becomes a triple agent?
January 27, 2020 at 06:12
Let me offer another hint... "A more perfect union"... How else can that be stated by the Eye of Providence?
January 27, 2020 at 06:01
Keep on trying. Last poast was interesting.
January 26, 2020 at 23:25
Still not the answer.
January 26, 2020 at 22:59
A pragmatic presupposition, really.
January 26, 2020 at 22:42
But when it looks at itself inwardly what do you think happens?
January 26, 2020 at 22:38
Probably, but not the answer.
January 26, 2020 at 22:25
Both.
January 26, 2020 at 22:13
More like the one on the back of the dollar bill. :sparkle:
January 26, 2020 at 22:11
I am telling it as certain as being a solipsist.
January 26, 2020 at 18:57
No, I am just telling it as a fact.

Whereof one cannot speak thereof one ought remain silent^.
January 26, 2020 at 18:41
Why, because it is(?)
January 26, 2020 at 18:27
But, the claim is true.
