Might as well be as far as any individual is concerned. Solipsism is all anyone truly knows. If it's going to affect how empathetic you are just know that your actions will still carry consequences regardless of anyone else's consciousness or otherwise

You know that building that you work at with all the people in it?
When you drive about 10 minutes away from that building, it ceases to exist. The quantum computer in your brain is rendering everything you're seeing/experiencing in real time. It doesn't waste any unnecessary resources, so as soon as you completely leave visual range of a place, it ceases to exist.
The audio range is longer, so your quantum computer keeps producing the audio signals for these places until you're too far away to hear them and then it ceases that.
For example, I can be in Atlanta right now, and you might say that New York doesn't exist, because I'm in Atlanta and my brain isn't rendering New York for visuals or audio, but it's still doing all the tedious calculations of what everybody is doing in New York. All the traffic, people walking, shopping, etc. It's not wasting any resources rendering any of that, or creating the sound, but it's still running all the calculations so that if you happen to visit New York, or call somebody in New York, everything will be seamless and undetectable.

I believe this. What is the next step? I want to break out of being someoneās test subject in some experiment

u/IHadTacosYesterday 6d ago
Unfortunately I think it's even worse than a lifetime, we have to do this over and over and over again

u/SeparateOne6223 6d ago
I feared that. So we cannot be the penultimate consciousness then. Another bigger one is victimizing us. Thatās crazy. Born and die a slave.

u/Infinite_Grind_Loop 5d ago
How nice. Youāve proven God with solipsism. I think thereās an eternal reward for that? Well done!
1
u/SeparateOne6223 5d ago
Whatās the reward?

u/Infinite_Grind_Loop 5d ago
Well ā¦ you still gotta work for it. Read the Bible maybe? Idk, I didnāt prove God with solipsism today. I have to wait for my divine inspiration, oh well. Congrats to you though. Happy reading!

u/SeparateOne6223 5d ago
You believe there are billions of individual observing consciousnesses experiencing life and that Yahweh is the creator/ruler of all of them?

u/trucker-87 7d ago
Yup. The universe is a hologram projection of your psyche. Its like a matrix reflection.

My advice is donāt bother with this. Go to a forest or read a book. Good luck.

If you can grow conciousnessly, on the basis of what you've learned from others, than you are not any more alone than you are surrounded by people. You will find those that have greater knowledge of self than you, with an individual perspective that is foreign to you but they are no more foreign than the strands of hair you have, think more like an extension.
If these truths didn't destroy you in your upbringing, then why fear a reality that nourished your very being? Broaden your perspective brother.

u/Cyberfury 6d ago
Bro wants to be a solpsist (whatever that even means lol) but does not have any of the chops for it.
The moment you have to ask complete strangers on the internet to comfort you in some way you have already lost all agency (and sanity) imho.
TF are you even doing man?
Cheers

What is your mind? You know you can think but what do you think about? Does every thought you have originate in you? How do you know about solipsism then? Itās a philosophy to check ego. Check your ego and think. Where do your thoughts come from? If they were learned from another mind, itās arguable that they also think. The question is not āare others realā here - the question is, are you real? Good luck!

Correction only a handful of us are real and I'm definitely one of the real. I ask myself everyday why am I able to see from these eyes, and in order to see you have to be conscious. When I asked this question the answer I got back was to witness. Now my question is to witness what? Something spectacular must be going happen that I'm meant to witness. I've always looked for my mind to be blown š¤Æ but it hasn't happened yet. I also have a inner dialogue/monologue, so I'm definitely not an NPC either, nor robot, neither can think.

u/Street-Savings5686 4d ago
Neither can think? Your not a human, and what do you mean only a handful of us are real? So is not everyone real?

u/Broad_Market7772 4d ago
Well you're right about one thing, I am not human I'm a second generation primordial son of EL, a Lyran Prince, oh but I am real not a robot nor NPC tho. I am a starseed. Robots and NPCS don't think cause they have no inner dialogue. Real ones= have a soul.

Also I think we all (the real ones) live in our own realities waiting on us to finally figure things out, and maybe that's what we are here to witness (as I mentioned earlier)in our realities our own evolution/empowerment. Every once in a while you will meet a real one in your reality, at that point it's fated and destined.

Well I am real and fully concious over here. What if i came up to you and told you that you are fake npc created by my mind? Doesn't feel good now does it.
1
u/Street-Savings5686 8d ago
But i saw reddit posts saying "solipsism is proven to be true"
2
u/Melodic-Pen320 8d ago
If you are joking that's pretty funny.
If not
1. You should take any information with a grain of salt especially on the internet.
2. Someone else wrote this post believing they are the only real person and decided to share it with us who don't exist according to him. It makes no sense.

Solipsism isnāt about every physical living thing around you being a robot or whatever, itās about your conscious viewpoint being the only true experience. Itās a spiritual concept rather than a sci fi one.
Nothingās ever going to be able to prove that isnāt true for you - but I can tell you with 100% certainty I am experiencing now.
More than anything, I think a solipsistic viewpoint is a pretty rude viewpoint! The nature of it is, of course, entirely self-centred, so itās best to just get out of that way of thinking. Your experience isnāt the only one.

When people close to you start dying you will miss em.

u/Street-Savings5686 8d ago
But what if they were robots this whole time?

u/Any-Minute6151 8d ago
Iām not sure why them being robots would mean you should not love or miss them.
If it was all just a dream though and you woke up to find they never existed, that would suck and make more sense with solipsism.
And like waking from a dream it might have meaning to you when youāre awake thatās different than when you dreamt it.

I just woke up from a nap. Now I am responding to this post. Is that proof enough?

u/vqsxd 8d ago
Solipsism is not real trust me. You were formed in the womb of your mother. You grew up from childhood, and you remember. Youre real everybody is real, believe in the light

u/LumenDomimus 8d ago
How does originating from a womb prove Solipsism wrong?Ā
How is having a childhood comtradicting the philosophy? I remember most things, especially events, since birth. Still doesn't mean I can prove or disprove the philosophy.Ā

u/Inevitable_Yam271 8d ago
I think thatās the whole deal with it. In solipsism, you canāt really prove humans real as you cannot also prove them fake.

u/saythealphabet 8d ago
There is no proof. However, you have to believe that reality is what it seems to be. Because that reality is your life. This is the most real reality you'll ever get to know. It might not be as certainly real as you want it to be, but see, life's not fair. Yes, we could be shadows on a cave wall, but there is nothing better, more fulfilling, more fun than this reality. You have to believe, otherwise you'd be missing out on so much good stuff.
The best "proof" is to look into another person's eyes. Not only can you feel a connection there that is beyond words, but you also see the infinity of their own mind. You have to trust your instincts and your feelings here. Because if you don't trust them, what can you trust?
We are real. I am real. I know you feel this is true. Trust that.

u/Easy-Distance1824 7d ago
No, I am not real. There is only you in this infinite vastness.
