Hence insanity, too, no?

What I'm saying is that this debate is intellectual. As such, it is superficial compared to getting the one who is asking the question. I felt "zenny" today.

@Leo Gura What about the streamer guy?

Nobody questions the self that is believing in solipsism.

Why not meditate for some time and get your mind focused elsewhere?

@Javfly33 okey dokey.

@Javfly33 Like I've implied elsewhere, destroying one's beliefs isn't as welcomed as adopting new ones that seem promising. I'm pointing out your relationship to this matter which is grounded on a slippery foundation. Understanding this isn't the problem as much as it is "experiencing" it. In other words, the direction of dispelling one's own beliefs is more fruitful than pretending that a belief or set thereof is true--if the goal is arriving at the truth. Take care.

I suspect it might have been intellectually-induced, in other words, by what he does with his mind--at least this may have contributed. You can be open and at the same time grounded on accurate or objective perceptions, without the latter you're more likely to float in abstract and airy-fairy worlds and notions.
