@Hojo This whole topic is such a mind fuck. Oh well, Put the kettle on? Nice cuppa tea solves everything 😉

@Hojo how are YOU coping with it?

@Hojo you're not alone! Us deep thinkers find it hard to make friends.

I think the scary thing about belief in solipsism is the Aloneness that comes with it. Nice to actually have this discussion and hear others points of view, because I feel slightly less alone now.

Why don't people just agree with me. Life would be so much easier 😉

@Hojo just don't try to take away people's sovereignty. I understand the concept of oneness actually, and have had my own awakenings. But I still hold value in the fact that I have my own mind. Your view of solipsism is one that refuses to accept the separate nature of individual minds. Even though we may all be One, separateness is a part of this Oneness.

@Natasha Tori Maru Thankyou! Thank....you. (Not me) 🙂

Thanks to the people who are sticking up for me. Hojo, I'm sure you weren't intentionally trying to mess with me, but it's a form of gaslighting when you try to convince someone of your own beliefs, and don't respect the fact that they have their own free will, and yes, their own mind as well.

@Thought Art I don't care about being mature. If someone is trying to fuck with my mind, then I'm gonna defend myself. I have experienced psychosis, and I know what beliefs led to this mental breakdown. It was partly a belief in solipsism. Even a successful psychiatrist tried to make me believe that I was the cause of all the world's problems. I'm not gonna let my mind be fucked with again.

Before any moderator jumps down my th That's exactly what I'm saying. It can't be proven or disproven, but Hojo is one of these people who thinks they know everything and is trying to warp my mind.

@Hojo you're fucking delusional. Stop trying to project your beliefs onto other people

@Hojo what do you mean?

@Hojo With everything you are saying, I can clearly see that you have your own separate mind, which thinks completely differently to mine. I'm just glad I am in my mind and not in yours.

@Hojo look, if you want to be delusional, then I'm not stopping you. You have free will, so you can choose to believe in solipsism if you like. It's a matter of belief. I choose to believe that other minds DO exist, even though I can't prove it in the here and now.

@Hojo no it didn't, it happened in their mind. Try standing in front of a mirror with another person. You can clearly see that you are a separate entity from this other individual, and see clearly that you have a head, with your mind contained in it, and they also have a separate head, with their mind contained in their head. It's so obvious. Solipsism in the absolute sense is complete delusion. Hahaha

I'm sorry, but solipsism is not "absolutely" true, it is only relatively true. Yes, I get that the only thing "I" can experience is my own mind, but to believe that other people don't exist is foolish. What about when you ask someone about their day and they start describing it to you. Do you really believe they didn't have that experience?

Solipsism is basically selfishness/narcissism dressed up as spirituality.

If they express different thoughts to your own, then can't you see that they have their own separate experience from yours?

I've been thinking about this so much recently - the idea of solipsism. It's not good for my mental health. I really don't think that solipsism is true. I got drunk the other night, and was trying to prove it to myself (that solipsism was true), but it just didn't make sense. I was talking to someone at the bus stop, but it seemed obvious that he had his own mind and separate experience from mine. Solipsism is a belief at the end of the day. Leo, if you're reading this, then explain how solipsism isn't anything more than just a belief, just like all the other "beliefs" you claim are not worth "believing in". Because my mental health has been suffering since watching your solipsism video.

I really want to start my own business. I have a goal, which I won't say right now, but it came to me in a dream around 7 years ago. I want to pursue this purpose, which involves helping people, and helping people is the main objective, not money. But obviously, money would be a nice reward. I have loads of experience in the field of business I want to enter. i don't have qualifications though. How can I turn my experience and skills into a viable business endeavour? I am 38 and have minimal experience in the business world. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding where I can get started? Thanks.

Something to do with manifesting and law of attraction.

For me, it was actually with a woman who was 8 years older than me. She wasn't particularly physically attractive, but her openness and quirkiness was beautiful, and her body was so soft. I was able to laugh a lot when I was in bed with her, and made her laugh a lot as well. So it was full of joy. And I remember waking up next to her, feeling so peaceful.

Gently my mind escapes. Into the relaxing world of pleasure. A pleasure that'll take my mind. Off the reality of my life.

Wake up!

OK. I'm awake now. Thanks for waking me up. Here and now. Here and now.
