  1. You are stuck in space/time without knowing it.
  2. True. Doesn't change the fact that solipsists are stuck in space/time without knowing it.
  3. It's the individualistic lifestyle championed by the leader, the atomized societal structure of post-modernity, and people being stuck in their minds instead of connecting to people, to nature, to feeling.
  4. You can only know for sure that you are aware, that you are conscious, that you exist. But once you accept that, you can grant for sake of pragmatism concepts like appearance, change, time and space to explain what is happening in the illusion, in Maya. And here nothing is for certain, but you can create arguments based on reason, observation, logic, and you can evaluate which arguments seem more convincing. And then you can create concepts like "other people" and make reasonable arguments that other people have their own private illusory Maya mind-body spatio-temporal experience like you do. Now, what the solipsists often seem to do is they claim that consciousness is the only thing that exists, but then they inadvertently smuggle in assumptions about appearances, space, time, like "here", "now", "current", "this right here". And then they try to exclude that which is seemingly not "here", "now", "this here", but they of course end up excluding something which belongs to the domain of space/time. And suddenly, they're no longer the most simplest and straightforward perspective that they claim to be but instead a confused and deluded perspective.
  5. "Current experience"? "Current" is a construct of time. "This experience right here" is actually a construct of space. So you're again inadvertently referring to constructs of space/time. If consciousness is beyond space and time, it's not limited to what is current, it's not limited to what is right here. Consciousness is that which knows what is current, what knows what is right here, but it is not limited to it. You know you are aware, you know you are conscious, you know you are you; that's it. If you want to exclude something happening "somewhere" or "sometime", you are in space and time.
  6. Out of view, just like I can't see the back of my head. But this indeed assumes statements about space/time. If I wanted to not make statements about space/time, I would simply say "consciousness is all there is, end of story" and I would not make statements about whether space/time constructs (other people) have or don't have a certain characteristic. It's very simple: if you don't believe in space/time, don't make statements about space/time.
  7. You seem very concerned about space/time ideas for supposedly not believing in space/time.
  8. If you don't believe in "other", then why do you concern yourself with whether other people experience something or not? If you don't want to assume space/time, you should not make statements about things concerning space/time. But solipsists want their cake and eat it too.
  9. No, you are 😂 Why are you asking "where?" if you don't believe in space/time? The problem solipsists have is they grant space/time only when it suits them.
  10. If you are asking "where", you are assuming space/time. They're out of view.
  11. Matter/space/time are ways of describing appearances. If there are no appearances, there is no matter/space/time, but there are also no people. So if you claim that "other people don't have a mind", you're the one that thinks that matter/space/time exists, because you assume other people exist.
  12. What I am conscious of right now is that you are engaging in thought-terminating absolutistic stage blue statements.
  13. Why not? Let's say you were to daydream about a stranger, and then you started daydreaming the perspective of that stranger. If that's possible, is it then so inconceivable that when you daydream a stranger, the stranger is also daydreaming?
  14. People with multiple personality disorder report seeing their multiple personalities as characters in dreams, and when awake, the multiple personalities report experiencing events in that dream from their own perspective. So it's definitely plausible. https://www.bernardokastrup.com/2019/10/the-many-in-our-dreams.html This is a really interesting video suggesting other people are dream characters (and bases it on scientific research):
  15. Where accuracy and quality doesn't matter, always use AI (first). Use it to get an overview, to identify options or possibilities or things you haven't thought about, to solve practical tasks like coding or organizing where the only thing that matters is whether something works.
  16. Bro the fucking kids sound like ChatGPT when they speak 😭😭
  17. I understood nothing of what you said.
  18. Explain how it's deeper. "It's too deep to explain". Hence the confusion perpetuates itself.
  19. How many IQ points did I just lose from just glancing at that chart?
  20. The real question is why did he after that make "Infinity of Gods", which presents the idea of multiple Gods existing separately from each other, when that is seemingly antithetical solipsism? And I can hear Leo answering something like "no, you just multiply the solipsisms", but that really just negates the term. I also think "Infinity of Gods" is flat out redundant, as God is infinite, so Infinity of Infinities is redundant. You just put up an arbitrary boundary when there are already infinite boundaries. The problem is complicating something which is really simple: God, Infinity, Oneness. But maybe I'm just simple-minded.
  21. What happened is that Leo started using the word solipsism and people became confused. It's his biggest pedagogic blunder.
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(religion) When you are referring to attributes, things that are changing, or the magic show of form, you are referring to Maya. When you talk about appearances, e.g. "other people" (mind-body complexes), you are talking about Maya. When you talk about Maya, you are talking about that which is illusory and obscures Absolute Truth. Solipsism (the way it is most often conceived) relates to that which obscures Absolute Truth.
  23. Oh yes, that's a lot of substance right there, exactly what I asked for. I can also only talk in single sentences: You are stage BLOOOO.
