My critique of Solipsism (illustrated)

Solipsism cannot be disproven. You cannot ever know egos other than your own are occurring. It's impossible.

It's not necessarily impossible.

Consciousness is provably ever-lasting. Therefore the question becomes: What are the implications of an ever-lasting consciousness?

If the implications of an ever-lasting consciousness includes the experiencing of every permutation of experience there is to possibly experience, then this will include my ego experience, your ego experience and every other ego permutation and finite variation limited only by imagination (which is limitless).

Proveable how? There's no way to say ego did not begin with my birth and won't end with my death.

There are many proveable things in Idealism (could be proven even to a Materialist), but Solipsism I think is essentially a stonewall. Circumventing it as I and everyone else does is an act of faith.

Consciousness != ego.

Consciousness is provably ever-lasting.

Only because we can't experience unconsciousness if such a thing ever existed. If Materialism was accurate that statement wouldn't be an absolute truth you see.

Yes but materialism isn't accurate. That's the point.

We know for certain that consciousness is possible, and we know for certain that absolute unconsciousness is impossible. Therefore consciousness is ever-lasting.

The materialists have no authority to contradict this.

The question in respect of solipsism pertains to the implications of an ever-lasting consciousness:-

Specifically: Does it imply the experiencing/knowledge of every permutation of possible state?

If yes, then solipsism is irrelevant: Your ego and my ego shares the same silent witness, because the silent witness knows all states.
