A real life example of solipsism

31 posts in this topic

For those confused about solipsism these twins are an example of how two things can actually be one, in a paradoxical way. For example these twins share sex organs. So that means two brains are feeling sensations from one vagina.

We are not that much different from these twins and we share one body with everything around us. Also that perspective  of "being behind the eyes" is an illusion and incased within the one whole. 

I know this is just an imperfect metaphor but what do you guys think? Is this metaphor/example an accurate one for solipsism?

That's because there's "no-where" to get to; once you get somewhere it becomes here.

I know this is just an imperfect metaphor and solipsism goes much deeper. Also I am not arguing for or against solipsism. I'm just giving an example of what is ment by the experience of solipsism. It's not a belief but a perspective that you can have if you want.

I've seen a few more people like these, it's mind-blowing to see them in action. They always look so happy too. I guess they just never feel lonely with someone always attached to their side. How ironic.

The one on the rigth side is good on maths and the one on the left like more of writing and language. Masculine and Feminine polarity even in this case

If you want to contemplate the ramifications of this siamese condition check this video with many other siamese people. There is one case by the end of siamese guys where one of them wake up death and the other where still alive and when he saw his other side was death he knew his time was short. He died 2 hours after. Interesting, they where consider two bodies but died in different time.

Interesting how not one case of mixed twins. One male and one female. It's all same sex. I wonder if any exists. These stories are inspiring, though. Shows us how resilient humans can be. The 2 Indian men who got married and had 21kids is a perfect example of how getting sex or the lack of it is a personal identity problem. Let's not even go investigate the midgets to see how many beautiful regular women are by their sides or the deaf and dumb or one-legged men....the list goes on.

@Parallax Mind I think I am imagining their shared vagina hahah

As in, I am imagining these two conjoined twins in general, and any shared sensory experiences they may both be conscious of together. 

I realized after posting this the chance it would be taken out of context. Though, I admit it is humorous regardless.

Oh, so you're into tribbing. Search the word if you're not familiar. Google might knock you off and send you to the tribes in Africa, so I suggest going to pornhub for the search.

In the case of the ones with shared skulls or even the ones with two heads, one question that arises is " Where the Self of this being resides?"  Because everone who have one body and one head would point to their heads and affirm that his sense of self resides in his brain, somewhere in the process of thousand neurons orchestration. But there we have one body, one being split in two, but actually are one. Who draw the line of where the sense of self of this single body resides? . Is not the case of one master and one emissary but two masters and two emissaries. The ones with merged heads have same dreams? Would be interresting to interview them about the dream they had at nigth but while one share the other have his ears covered to check if both say the same or similar thing. We say that our dreams belong just to us, and no other can dream the same, or have the very same visual trip on a psycadelic, but imagine for this people. They even had to learn that they are two by growing and generating via others the ideia that this head me and that head is you and this body we share.
