That's called nonduality, not solipsism. Solipsism term implies oneness but denies the existence of sentient sovergn multiple individuals. Technically this term is only half true. The part about oneness is true, the second half is false.

They will pretend that's a feature not a bug. Whatever it takes to keep the cope going.

Ugh... I hear you. If only the was a way to get through to them. Reason alone would be enough if only they were willing to listen. Living in denial, plus addiction to superiority, inability to reason. What a mess all at once.

You're underestimating people's ability to live in denial. Once someone becomes addicted to feeling special, they won't let go of solipsism easily because it's their ultimate power move to be superior than others. You just label everyone you don't like imaginary and wualia, you feel like you've invalidated them. Sneaky ego defense machanism. But good luck explaining that to a solipsists.

If only solipsist were to use their brain to reflect on this... Maybe one day. In a bar...

If a solipsist were to enter the bar, the answer would be very easy because they are brain-dead. Edit. Maybe I should've said something less inflammatory, sorry.

I like this

I just gave you an example with food why that is not so.

He need not be a perfect example for the insight to be valid. I might argue eating healthy is wiser than eating fast food and yet still eat the fast food. It doesn't invalidate the wisdom of healthy eating even if I fail to do that sometimes.

Cool picture

self serving activity is not evil. The goal is not to eliminate self serving activity. The goal is to expand your sense of self to include everything. So that your self serving activity would become for the good of everything. God is a Self serving entity. Be like God. Be Self serving.

You surviving is part of what God wants you to do. You surviving plays an important role in His will. You're meant survive, and you're meant to do something useful with that life. Maybe rise a beautiful daughter. Don’t be ashamed of fulfilling God's will. It's the most fulfilling thing you can do.

I know right, I didn't expect to use him as an example either but his insight into this topic has value. It's based on a lot of experience in the end. Imagine having sex with thousands of women and then ending up with a conclusion that monogamy is a more natural, organic way. That's quite something.

This is evolution.

Oh, didn't know.

I was kinda messing around with that one.

You're probably the only person on this forum that has a high opinion of him. I'd like to see him switch roles. Being married to a woman with another dude. I bet he would invent a new philosophy pretty fast.

It's not scientific but still a cool one. Skip to 1:04:50

There's no reason to assume Martin's insights are less valid. Quite the opposite, when examined we can see his insights are much more in line with reason.

Only what accords to reason matters.

Egoic love is the only thing that exists. It's just that you can shift your ego identity to be everything. Then it becomes infinite Self love. But it's the same love.

There is only one type of love called inclusion. If you're partially inclusive, it's called human love. If you're all inclusive, it's called God's infinite love. But it's the same love. The same act of inclusion.

If there are infinite pieces, then it's an infinite love.

Love is another proof that solipsism is bs. Because love is the union between two. It's a relationship between a giver and receiver. Both giver and receiver is God but it proves that God individuates itself to many parts. You're just a small piece in God's puzzle, not the center of the universe. Each piece of the puzzle is as valid as you are. Natasha gets it.

You can know that others are sentient by the virtue of sentience. It takes one to recognizes one. You can become directly concious that everything is concious, not just you.
