>>4693735
Is that real?

>>4693742

>>4693742
LOL

>>4693735
if i'm honest that pic kinda freaks me out.

luckily it's only bread, right?

>>4693748
ha

>>4693749
How does one grow out of Solipsism?

>>4693768
Don't worry. Once you enter elementary school, you'll have more interesting things to think about. For example adding and multiplying single digit numbers.

>>4693762
>luckily it's only bread, right?
sure

It's worthless.

I mean, sure, it could be the case - but if so then why worry about it? And if we're really going to start branching off into dictations on the structure of the universe based on what I feel like the universe should be right now, then we might as well say the Judeo-Christian God is both certainly real and is currently manifesting as Moot. I mean, how can you disprove that statement?

My point is this: solipsism is a fundamentally worthless strain of thought because A) there's absolutely no way to prove it and therefore it's a philosophical dead end, and B) it encourages a ridiculously narcissistic worldview in which you alone are the center of existence.

>>4693772
>implying a child could even grasp the basic fundamentals of solipsism

back to reddit for you.

>>4693789
>A) there's absolutely no way to prove it

can you disprove it?

>>4693762
Yes, it's bread - I'm honestly surprised that some people still haven't seen this yet, it's been making the rounds for years.

>>4693791
There is nothing "deep" about solipsism. Only children seriously consider it. Questioning existence is natural in the psychosocial development of preschoolers. If they are healthy, they grow out of it quickly.

>>4693802
⇒can
r u a braindamaged?

>>4693791


this is a joke right?

theres hardly any beings more solipsistic than children (autists by the way).

ideal solipsism is a common result of conditional solipsism (iow, beings are world forming, and they can only form small worlds, dig it?)

SCIENCE AND LOGIC! Ever heard of them?! Maybe you're using ad hominems to sound profound because you have the mind of a preschooler?! I'm a girl btw ;)

>>4693838


calling it 'adhom' dont make it less true

BOOM LOGICED.

>>4693735
>dat feel when solipsism

Baby's second philosophy; how cute.

>>4693854
I know science and history better than you btw I'm a prostitute don't hit on me xoxoxo ;)
Check me out on backpage in the Los Angeles section :--) I can science logic better than any of those other "bombshells" (more like grenades lel)
Don't you realise disbelieving the word of Dawkins is anti-intellectual, because he's the prime intellectual? I have a DEGREE

>>4693798
proof?

>>4693888


majoring in dick sucking wont make you a woman fag LOL

>>4693918
faggot XD

What /lit/ feels about solipsism is what I want /lit/ to feel about solipsism, because then I get to feel superior since I'm much smarter than /lit/.

>>4694063
What's this you? Tis I, or rather we.

And thus we are god playing hide and seek with himself in a dream. Solipsism averted.

No academic philosopher is taking solipsism seriously.

>>4694089
Well, of course not. They're all figments of my imagination. Solipsism doesn't make sense from the perspective of people who don't exist.

>>4694313
What an original and intellectual joke.

Don't worry, you feel fine about it.

>>4694333
Thank you for the compliment!

>>4693735
It's basically our reality, we just have a moral stake in denying it. We are vain little solipsistic animals walking around proclaiming false modesty when we pretend to 'understand' others, and they do the same back. Just listen to two people talk, it's so self-evident it's embarrassing to see people on /lit/ deny it. Face it we are not connected to anyone besides through senatorial stimulation.

>>4694362
If we're all soliphistic why would someone even take the time to respond to a thread like you just did?

>>4694368
Because they felt like it?

At what age did /liy/ grow out of Solipsism?

>>4694387
Apparently never and a bunch of our fellow faggots are so hipster and contrarian that they embrace 15-year-old ideologies that even /x/ doesn't go for.

>>4693735
I was sort of a solipsist when I was 5.

>>4694419
The only reason to not believe in solipsism is if you believe in souls or astral projection or psychics or some bullcrap like that.

>>4693869
What's the first?

>>4694368
Because in addition to physical desires, I have emotional desires which are fulfilled by interacting with the Others in some way or another. That these desires are hallucinatory and their satisfaction meaningless doesn't make me any less likely to pursue them since I've apparently got no better use for my time.

>>4693791
I remember quite clearly considering the concept when I was around 8

>>4694468
but if we were all truly solipsists wouldn't we never get emotionally charged in conversation? I'll concede to you that acknowledging people could be fulfilling but you would never get emotionally invested in them
