@Carl-Richard, if the absolute is beyond death, doesn't that make it the only thing that has ever been, thus making the absolute solipsistic?

What movie have you recently watched, or are you now watching? I have yet to finish watching the movie "The Irishmen".

That's meant to say that whatever is there is there. To claim that things that aren't there are there would be false. I don't think this is complicated. This post is true if it exists, even if it referred to falsehood. If I didn't post, then to claim that the post exists would be false. Non-existent stuff doesn't exist, so anything that exists does exist.

Terrifying. It happened to me some time ago due to a gastrointestinal infection. Literally, my paranoid thoughts were becoming true! And at that time, it really breaks you when you think that psychosis might be your new normal.

I agree.

There are functional resemblances of my mind within my mind.

@Carl-Richard, I think complete proof of solipsism would be to say that other's private experience is imagined, which is not to say that one can not imagine them by closing one's eyes or thinking about it. It's true that the experience of others is non-existent to each one of us; however, that's not a proof of solipsism, because then how are people aware of stuff in your experience.

When I started watching Better Call Saul, I didn't know that it was connected to Breaking Bad. I didn't even know what Breaking Bad was. It was so special to me until I watched Breaking Bad and I had my awakening.

What's up?

Project Hail Mary. It was great. You would expect to see horror stuff, but you would be surprised. It gets very emotional and at times it's funny. The movie mostly relied on practical effects.

I don't think so. I watched both TV shows many times, and I still love Better Call Saul. Bob Odenkirk's acting was way better in Better Call Saul. But I think the plot of Breaking Bad was way crazy, and the character development was great. After watching Breaking Bad, I felt like Better Call Saul was meant to give some context to Breaking Bad.

I didn't like it as much as Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, but I was relieved to see Jesse get out of being tortured and have a better life.

I watched Better Call Saul first, but I would stick to Breaking Bad. After watching Breaking Bad, it all made sense.

It's like mirrors facing each other. Infinite mirrors. Infinite reflection.

If you remembered everything from your dreams, wouldn't your dreams last long? Once, I slept and woke up immediately, without dreaming. It felt very strange.

Gosh. In my nightly dreams, my waking life doesn't exist. My nightly dreams have only been the only one there is with it's own rules. And it doesn't make sense to say my waking life is more real than my nightly dreams, even though it feels more real.

I've been entertaining the thought that history started from my birth. All I have ever known about anything couldn't have happened before my birth because I wasn't experiencing all this stuff. But at the same time, I think, why would reality be limited to only my experience? What is special about it? Is the imagination so powerful that I can imagine that there is a private life happening to others while my experience has been the only human experience?

But don't you have a first-person experience? The wild thing is that the people in my first-person experience could tell me stuff that could happen to me, even though I only have my experience. This is crazy!

I don't know, but people can be too confident sometimes.

Noted. @Leo Gura, also, I'm kind of confused when you said that somewhat like the first-person experience is the true one. How is it possible that we both have a first-person experience? If mine is the only true one, how else could you be aware of your experience if you didn't experience the world like I do?

At first, I thought you were being real. It's not far from being real, which makes it funny.

Or comedic genius.

@Leo Gura, by glancing over all of David Chapman's sources and Substack, he doesn't strike me as a materialist at all. He is into Dzogchen Buddhism. Even on the homepage of his Substack, it is written, "Enlightenment is our natural state".

It was impressive.
