    Neither do I see your point. So, are we good?L'éléphant

    I have no point. Im just no solipsist. I believe dreams, gods, science, life, you, me, them, all there is, equally true and why requiring proof? The need for proof is just some silly invention, taught to you since you were a kid, in schools you were forced to go by the scientific establishment ruling the planet.

    Is God the/one of the best thoeries we have?Agent Smith

    Gods are no theory and neither is the big bang, not even infinite of them. Do I have proof? Ýes. Of course, that's what I think.

    Once upon a time, in the land of 1000 solipsists, one of them died. But the 999 left, didn't care.

    This doesn't establish the falsity of solipsism in my humble opinion; people "die" in video games. I have a kill count of roughly 3 million in Rome Total War, excluding those who met their end due to plagues and natural disasters (floods & earthquakes). I'm a genoicidal maniac (hides in shame). Oh shit! ( :sad: )

    There you are right. But it displays its stupidity (no offense!).

    Jesus you're wrong! If in the land of 1,000 solipsists, one of them died, 1,000 didn't care.

    It does not. What's (so) stupid about solipsisim? Explain your statement, please. Is solipsism something impossible? Mulgere hircum?

    None of them would care really. They all would think the others are not real. They all think only themselves are real. There is no proof the others think.

    Yes, but you have to spend a really long time to milk cause they produce a very minute amount.

    If those were people, we wouldn't videotape them and show in youtube for people's entertainment. Did you know that that's an inherited condition? What do you think would happen if we video an epileptic person having an episode and uploaded on youtube to get monetized?

    We must, re William James, believe despite insufficient evidence when a belief in question is (a)

    1. Forced (sink/swim). Conversion to Islam by the sword.. Argumentum ad baculum?

    2. Vital (it makes a huge difference to your life and whoever else matters to you). I need God to guide me.

    3. Living option (Christianity is alive while shamanism is quite dead). I can't adopt shamanism, its an extinct way of life. Perhaps it can be resurrected à la Jurassic park.
