Posted February 14, 2022 I jus watched leos recent episode on solipsism and I have some questions for y'all about solipsism and I hope you guys can answer them. I feel like im getting a misinterpretation about the idea and it would be great if you guys could clear everything up. To begin, i am wondering if what if as a god I created the idea of solipsism to be less probable to comfort myself into the world? and the second one being why would "I" create my own suffering if "I" am a god, wouldn't I know better? Lastly, is there any concrete agrument against solipsism? Like if I were to transfer into another body or somehow and then come back to mine, would that help disprove it? Adding on to the topic of solipsism, I wrote down some discussion about solipsism and am wondering if you guys could confirm the accuracy of the statements I am about to make about solipsism. Against the idea of solipsism I have written down Occam's Razor does not support it and secondly it creates an extremist version of the first cause dilemma (where did I come from) this wouldn't matter if only solipsism wasn't based on its ability to answer the hard problem of epistemology. Therefore the belief system as a whole fails. Finally, there would be infinite possibilities of the world that could be taken as true; I could be actually a dragon dreaming on mars right now. my mind is gone to a better place. I'm elevated ..going out of space . And I'm gone . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2022 I watched the video too. I felt he kept saying things which I did not need to hear without touching on the things I was curious to hear. If you were to right this moment fall into a black hole and live your mother's entire life, then die as your mother and fall back through the black hole here, all of your "mother's" experiences would have been had by "you". There's nothing but memory that allows you to tie together that story of what happened to "you". So if as you said you entered another body and came back, that would not be in your memory bank... I don't see any compelling reason to believe that it's not possible to live all "lives" that have ever existed in this same "now" moment that "my" entire life has happened in... Can anyone else think of any single reason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
