Absolute Solipsism
Re: Absolute Solipsism
The point is... I cannot know the content of another mind. I can only know the content of my own mind.
But here's the twist. Even though I cannot know the content of another mind, I can know other minds do actually exist because my mind exists.
When I tell myself I cannot know the content of other minds, that is telling me that other minds must exist, minds that I cannot know the content of.
So the only reason I am able to tell myself other minds exist is because I already know I can't know the contents of those other minds. So I am simply creating those other minds from my own mind. So they have to be real for those others, just like my mind is real for me.
Does that make sense. Is that fair to say?

You could be right you could be wrong.

We could be right we could be wrong.
Why knows what's absolutely true?

Shall we permanently remove the word 'suffer' from the human vocabulary or from the mind that knows the concept?
