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.
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
again i thank you for your reply and interest in Solipsism (though the latter really only offers an extremly limited Truth, and nothing more).
sadly.
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.
your Change, requires not only the concept of Time (i have that!) - but the proove of it!
and you cannot prove Time exists.
Solipism = I exist (not you), right NOW.
nothing more.
to affirm that there is Change is to affirm that I view the Time as real - not just the concept if it.
and empirically i cannot do so.
it really that simple.
thanks for reply - even if i may be talking to myself, though hope not (BTW Hope cannot be proved empirically either - lol).

all three are the same and not proveable to actually exist as external concrete thing(s).
why am i still talking to myself?
Re: The duty of the brain is to provide inputs to the mind
Here is the argument: Cosnider a change A to B. A and B cannot lay on the same point therefore they lay on different points of a variable. There must be however a duration to go from A to B otherwise change never takes place. This variable is called time.gaffo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 10:19 pmi see no argument.

thanks for the clear and concise point you wished to convey.bahman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 2:21 pmHere is the argument: Cosnider a change A to B.

This variable is called time.
you say:
"A and B cannot lay on the same point therefore they lay on different points of a variable" WRT to the concept of Time - i.e. that there is such a thing and so the "arrow of time" likewise assumes there is the past and the future, the former known the latter not knowable - that is the conventional thought - yes?
per solipism, there is not such thing a the above - those things time, past, change - etc, all of them are concepts (even constructs to give the illusion of something outside of "this now/me exist" - and maybe it does exist, but i do not assume so.
YES I affirm the concept of Time, and the past and the future, but i only KNOW I AM now - nothing more, and so i do not know Time nor the Past ever actually exists/ed - just that i know i have a concept of these things - right now via my consciensness.
Time/change as a real thing? no that you can never prove to me. i take time as i take you - via faith, not evidence.
thanks for reply.

I argue in favor of time, which is necessary outherwise there could be no change.gaffo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 1:44 amthanks for the clear and concise point you wished to convey.

Re: The duty of the brain is to provide inputs to the mind
There are so many philosophical and scientifically opinions about this subject that the more you read the more you become more confused. I have read some books and articles on this topic and similar, Yoga, Zen, Philosophy, Psychology, etc. I am sure all of you came across similar pieces of information about mind, brain and their connections. Recently, I came across a new very interesting concept "mind connectivity". In encourage you to have a look for yourself, because among other interesting information you can find the relation between mind connectivity and brain connectivity.

Are you saying I'm being cocky?
We have cocking snooks in the UK, but I never knew it was piscine, but I thought something was fishy around here so I looked it up - or was that hooked it up?
Do you think he'll ever tumble?
