Heretic's post is very relevant to the present subject.
My own definition of solipsism stresses the fact that since each consciousness creates its own reality only according to the capabilities or potentialities of one own's body/mind, THEN one should then be constantly aware of its metaphoric...
Dear Thanh,
I would like to answer your original question, WHY DO THEISTs BELIEVE?
Would you believe that this QUESTION arose & was 'discovered' in europe many years ago, when people there began to lose their faith in God ?!
Suddenly people became aware of the subject 'religion!' It's like a...
Hi to all!
Why is it so hard for people to accept that we can only interact with the 'outside world', OW, through one's body & mind? This interaction is rightly called phenomenon. The perfect anaIogy is the way the computer, PC, relates to the OW. It has no magical power; it can only relate...
Michel,
I wonder if anybody has written a science fiction where the ETs are walking about in their planet, & their individual necks are connected to just one head. And this humungous head is their moon going around the planet!

Dear Anders,
'SOLIPSISM IS TOO NARROW & CONSERVATIVE', you wrote.
I say that one cannot reach out into the world & to really re-connect to other beings unless one becomes fully solipsistic!
.
1. The world you create moment-by-moment with your body/mind is truly your own Personal Space...
Hi to All!
I didn't know this thread exists! But this one connects with the thread, 'The PC Proves Kant was right about God!'
The whole world appears to you as it is, precisely, because you are solipsistic!
Consider this experiment. Walk on a busy street & you feel like you are a...
Prima,
Once you believe in my philosophy I urge you to consider that our individual heads are just nice illusions! We have one HEAD!
That's a beautiful lips the OW is triggering iniside my CONS! Is that your lips? I almost kissed this monitor emitting the lips-image, but I stopped...
Dear Cyberfellas,
You might have to read my post, 'The PC Proves Kant was Right About God!', to make sense of this present subject!
Kant would have been happy if he had a PC when he wrote his idea that the noumenon is unknowable. (It would have simplify his prose & more, the PC would have been...
Lilithu,
Really knowing it - & feeling it in you guts - that you are solipsistic entity is, to use your own phrase, an EARTH-SHATTERING REVELATION!!
This means:
Your reality is your personal creation! You are totally responsible for your own reality. As I posted before, you can choose...
You guys still don't get it!!!
Absolutely nobody can look at the OW objectively because each CONS (consciousness) must start subjectively, from within one's own CONS!
How can you prove to your dog, for instance that colors exist, when the OW cannot, absolutely, trigger the experience of...
Hi to all,
Atheism is definitely a religion. Millions have committed their lives to it that , for the 1st time in the history of mankind, they embarked on the 1st massive systematic experiment to build a society without God!
Don't ever forget the Communist Empire! It's 1st premise: There...
Hi to all!
At last, Jeremiah has wrote something I can reply to!
He wrote that when he program his PC he programs it with KNOWLEDGE!!!
This is the most ignoramus thing I read!! The PC can only juggle binary patterns!!! I am beginning to doubt if he knows anything about hardware or...
Hi to all!
Martha's questions deserve a deeper treatment because they really focus on the issues:
1. If the OW merely triggers the inner subjective states within the PC or biological organisms, HOW & from WHERE those subjective states came to exist in the first place?
2. Why do we, as...
Hi solipsistic brothers & sisters!
Didn't I post, '...my brain is soft...so it's changeable() ?' I'm like this because of the totality of my hardware/ software nature, HSN! ( I just
love 'em abbreviations!)
So I'm posting again because I read people misunderstood my 'solipsism' which I...
Hi to ALL!
WOW!!!! I'm overwhelm! Why are you replying like this? Someone wrote a book titled 'Homo Religiosus' & his idea was homosapiens=homo-religiosus
which means we are religious whether we are theist or atheist!
OK, I'll try again...but it's really best if you learn how to build your...
Ness,
You got it! The PC think it's God! And it's the same for each of us & for every sentient being. There's a bible verse, 'Ye are gods!' & that sums it.
You don't have a choice but to look at the 'world' of you own personal creation. Every object 'out there' is simply a part of your...
Hi to all,
I just came in here & here's MY PHILOSOPHY!
I taught myself how to design & build my own computer, PC & from what I learned about the PC I had a peak experience (Maslow)! Enlightenment-by-PC!
Kant taught that the outside world, OW, merely triggers our internal states which is...
