I'm a solipsist.
why do you assume there are minds, and that the mind and brain are different?
for that matter why should i assume there is a you?
I'm a solipsist.
So you are writing these words?
The mind is needed for any change, changes exist, therefore there are minds.
The mind is the essence of which doesn't change. Brain is a part of the body which changes.
Because, you now know something new which was not part of your mind in the past.
maybe from Faith - via Faith in a material world as reality.
you error in your view of Solipsism - which is literally - 'I am" (right now) - nothing more. I am not a God nor God, definition of God/s is all powerful all omini present
Yes the Conscious Mind is the final processing stage for Experiencing things like the Redness of Red, the Standard A Tone, the Salty Taste, or the Smell of Bleach. But everyone might have a slightly different Experience for each of these things. However, it is probably true that these Experiences are pretty similar. How different could they be? Is it possible to have the Auditory and Visual Experiences swapped such that we See Sound and Hear Color? Seems to happen during experiments with Psychoactive drugs.
Is the fact that there is a difference between physical entities that are living (organisms) and all other physical entities that aren't, dualism? Nonliving entities obviously do not have the attribute, "life." What about organism that have consciousness (all animals) which plants and non-living entities do not have. Is observing that conscious organisms have an attribute non-living and mere living organisms do not have, dualism? Why would the observation that human beings have a unique kind of consciousness that is volitional, intellectual, and rational be dualism? The mind is not a, "thing," or a, "substance," not another kind of entity, but an attribute or quality, perfectly natural, like consciousness and life, just not a physical attribute.

Tell you what. You can say anything you want about me or to me, and I'll never be offended. But I draw the line at any reference to race. We're done.
ok, whatever you say. for the record i am not a racist nor care to defend myself - though i just did in this case.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 9:25 pmTell you what.

hows your big black boyfriend doing, doing you.
I have a proof that conscious mind exists since change exists. I would share it with you if you are interested. I have another argument for existence of other minds.

not from Empiricism, which is what Descarte (me? or real person that is not me?) claimed prior to selling out and 10-20 yrs later affirming the unaffirmable.
I am - right now, not in the past not in the future, just right now. that is what he (I?) said.
BTW i was 16 when i understood this mentality, 5 yrs younger than Descarte - who may have existed, or not, and just happened to be me learning about that man 5 yrs later - whom i lever know about until college, coming to the same mentality i had an inspiration about indepentently (or not indepentently, if Solipisism is true - then he and i are the same being).
Empiricism is about Logic, what is provable.
so no i cannot prove i am writing these words to "you" (myself) - to assume "writting" assumes there is a physical reality, and so requires Faith.
I don't do Faith, and why i am an Atheist (which offers nothing - and do not wish anyone (even if there are no anyones "out there" - and i am just playing a game talking to myself (maybe i am/ or not - no empircal evidence to determine) - i just use empiricism, as i have since a 15 yr old (long ago now - 39 yrs now) to know my limitations via my nature - to know that.
I AM - right now.
not in the past nor future.
-others existing? for sanity i have assumed you exist to function as a man with a house and job, i do not take it for a Truth. so i guess i have Faith you exist - for my own selfish reasons - sanity.
I am SPECIFIC about Truth though, and per IT - I know I exist, and you cannot prove you exist outside of me (as an existing entity) - other than me talking to me out of some perverse "self talk" - "you are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! I exist and i can prove it when i cave your skull in"
ok, but per emiricism you are all wet. so i cave my own skull in (skulls to not exist emirically) and die,..................to what?
no idea, my nature is limited to logic and the provable in this reality - i do not concern myself with the "afterlife" - yay nor nay (my "afterlife" - since you cannot prove you exist - there is only me that i know exists - now - not in the future, so might just cease to exist after my "death" - or not - my nature is too limited (by lightyears to even bother with the question - so i dont care about it (and why i am not anti Religious)
I know what is knowable (my limits via my nature) -since i was 16,
I'm 54 now, nothing has changed, sadly no higher Emprical truth than "I exist" - right now - not in the past, nor assume in the next 10 seconds.

I know you cannot prove you exist, and know you can reply and shout to the sky I EXIST AND AM AN HUMAN BEING LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! - for centuries.

i thank you for the reply, but you cannot prove that you exist. and i see no point in the exercise, i welcome general discussion, and i welcome discussion with you about all things - i like cats BTW, but the whole Solipsism thing is clear. and its as i state above.bahman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 5:23 amI have a proof that conscious mind exists since change exists.

To prove conscious mind I start from the fact that change exists. Consider a change A to B. A and B cannot lay on one point therefore A has to vanishes before B takes place. You however have nothing when A vanishes and you cannot possibly have B out of nothing. Therefore, there should be a conscious mind that experience A and causes B.gaffo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:06 ami thank you for the reply, but you cannot prove that you exist. and i see no point in the exercise, i welcome general discussion, and i welcome discussion with you about all things - i like cats BTW, but the whole Solipsism thing is clear. and its as i state above.bahman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 5:23 amI have a proof that conscious mind exists since change exists.

i thank you for your reply - i got dickish with the black panther (maybe dickish with myself? - did not like his flippant reply - and I'm not a Christian to turn the other cheek, i am more Judiac and return the insult - in proportion (but i suspect i returned it a little moreso than proper, i could blaime it on 8 beers but won't) - lol....though i did, lol

Up to here I prove that there is at least one conscious mind since change exists. To argue in favor of two minds, I first bring your attention to the change that you cause, so there is one conscious mind, you. There are however changes that you are not consciously responsible for them. Therefore, there is at least one conscious mind except you.
