Perspective

I am of the personal opinion that solipsism is quite ridiculous, laughably absurd. Though i had naturally wondered if i were, in fact, the only real person, at quite a young age.

It’s an interesting thing to consider, but i think it’s easily dismissed… and further, that anyone who insists that they are the only real being, is completely insane, or at least mentally incompetent… that, or they are trolling, because they realize you exist, and they think it’s hilarious to try to convince you that you don’t.

I exist. And i’m pretty sure everyone else exists too.

Just as some individuals don’t perceive objective reality, some very much do. Not everyone does, and so not everyone understands the concept… which leaves them highly susceptible to “crazy” ideas about reality not being real. It’s there, and it’s real, whether everyone, or some of us, or no one at all, understands it.

We don’t have to understand events for them to occur. We don’t have to understand existence, to exist.

Solipsism and “life as a simulation” are just philosophy hacks. They are interesting and bizarre ideas, which are based on the idea that you can’t disprove them entirely. Being unable to disprove something doesn’t make it true. Being unable to prove something doesn’t make it false.

But sometimes there is no evidence to support outrageous claims, and so why should we base anything on something that can’t be verified?

See what is, as it is, for what it is, and go from there.
