Re: A foothold out of solipsism
Hi Guido,
But this outside influence could merely be a component of my own existance. It could be my subconscious mind, which sustains the illusion of the universe.
I marvel at the processing power of your subconscious!
How old are you, Guido? Have you ever been in a long-term relationship? This provides a compelling insight into another's consciousness - I guess because you journey together from being strangers to (what feels like) sharing your consciousness at some level.
Also having the pleasure of sharing your life with another animal provides further insight into the independent consciousness of other beings. Observing unexpected turns and twists and complexities in their personalities.
Most people would have had the same thoughts at some stage. Life's reality checks tend to put us into perspective.
To me you were non-existent until I first read one of your posts here. And now you are another person out there.
