xyz GuyIs Anything Real? Are We Real? Introduction To Solipsism
Solipsism is a philosophical idea that claims only one’s own mind is sure to exist. You can’t actually know anything other than that, for certain. Even the basic questions like ‘is anything real?’, ‘are we real?’, ‘is reality an illusion?’, nothing can be answered with certainty. In this episode of Journal of Things we are going to try to explain solipsism while assessing the reality itself through the philosophy of solipsism, monitoring of thoughts and personal experience We are also going to briefly discuss the French philosopher Rene Descartes who famously said “I think, therefore I am”, then we move on to The Matrix (there is no spoon) and Guy Ritchie’s Revolver.
Solipsism denies that the human mind has any valid reason for believing that anything outside itself exists, which is a pretty radical standpoint to take. But who knows: could it be that despite the vastness of the universe (or so it seems), only you exist? This video explores the philosophy of solipsism, using ideas from George Berkeley, Descartes, Zhuangzi, Kant, and The Matrix.

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMif this kind of solipsism is true why would the omni mind let itself ever have this idea if the goal is to create the illusion of others for the sack of experience it is Strang that anyone would hold this position because it threatens the dream. this view seems self-defeating

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMThat's why every religion teaches compassion toward others, because others are actually you. "Love your brother as yourself"…

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMIs this theory falsifable?
@whatsrealin
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMShut the fuck up; I listened to the intro and closed it. I fucking hate people who tend to viralize shit by stupid rhetoric.

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMIn order to exist, even solipsismly, there has to be an external observer. What's outside of infinity, me? Whose observing me?
@tombash4329
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMSince you think solipsism is real and factual, try standing in front of an oncoming freight train. Afterall, the train is just a figment of your imagination.

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMWhen i become god i feel loneliness and boredom.
We create all these dreams to forget what we are.
This explanation is absolute truth. Nothing more nothing less.
@deanbillet1772
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMMy experiences have the same conclusion. But like us not knowing where we come from God also does not know where it came from or why it exists.
It is trying to get answers just as we are.
The other thing is I know i am source or god and yet I can't ascend out of it.
@ryanpongracz8051
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMMore confirmation, truely escaping the matrix, is escaping reincarnation, there is no, I am, there is no other. It took me years to grasp this, that if I'm god, the only thing in existence, how do I go beyond that, what's outside of, god. DMT hasn't told me that part yet.
@Constantin.81
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMFact: 2022 Phisics Nobel :"THE UNIVERSE IS NOT LOCCALY REAL".This is a demonstrated fact.We are getting closer ! The truth is out the .There is no free will! Your speach is absolutly great,stunning i say,but not 100% accurate.You have right in many many ways .Your point is like THE EGG theory.Yes,all we see its s dream ,yes,when you don't perceve an object with ,that object does not exist .The truth maybe is a combination of solapsism and similation in the absence of free will.Everyone live in his own existential prison.Eniway ,i salute you with all my respect ,you are a briliant mind! Thank you!

@ashleyshrout6562
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMCan there be several of us on an timeline? How do we debunk there being more than one
@CT-pv9gu
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMI can see how this could really effect people. But I kinda feel sorry for people who reject this. Imagine if you never heard what Leo has to say?
@mikaelsvensson4833
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMGreat Leo we got it together!
@mikaelsvensson4833
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMIm all alone! Im all alone! Im all ALONE! This does not feel alright!
@mikaelsvensson4833
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMThis is fucked up
@mikaelsvensson4833
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMBut the other people MUST BE OTHER THAN ME! THIS IS EFED UP ON SO MANY LEVELS!
@LeahIsHereNow
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMNothing can rob my life of meaning and purpose. Cute that you would think your little video could, but whatever. 😂
There is only subjective reality; objective reality does not exist. You cannot live your life from someone else’s perspective so your perspective is the only perspective that exists.
That is literally all.
@Noswiatel
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMThe only case against solipsism that fulfills it and proves it is the fact you can dream of other than you that also is I.
@Noswiatel
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMLife is meaningless and self preservation is the only thing that drives you forward.
Nihilism is the answer by allowing you to create the sense out of nonsense.
You can take the path of slow S, its called sacriface, but objectively, it does not bring any more sense into the world, except for an illusion of one.
Assuming you struggle with teology, by this point you should understand the selfishness behond creation of the existence.
Empathy hurts and I'm hurting with you.
You are lucky if able to let go and reveal the shadow without hurting self or the others.
Intellectual rationalization is not the way to go – it exists there to serve your emotions, especially those you do not want to feel.
I think its okay to bring the others down if they wouldn't ever lift you up, and you would do the same.

02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMLove u Leo 🤍🪽🪽 thank u for ur absolute messages and being beautiful 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
@raviolihog4002
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PM1h 28sec- “Anything beyond your experience is, by definition, within your experience.” In classic postmodern thinking he inverts the reality and sounds insane. Many sentences in this video, in fact, make no sense. he literally believes it’s possible for our brains to generate reality around us, but we don’t know/experience how. That’s impossible!
And I’m not proving him right by destroying him out of malice, I’m simply correcting this nonsense. This is gender transitioning level stupid philosophy.
@bogdanbubnov6830
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMIf we can create partitions within one mind which being percieved as independent autonomous parts, does this not mean the equivalent of "other minds," if we cannot even draw a line without a supernatural conscious effort, constantly falling into oblivion of this fact
@tombash4329
02/16/2025 - 5:08 PMThe very idea that Leo treats causing harm, pain, or fatality to a character in one's dream as something not to be perpetrated or mirrored in one's so-called awakened moments, tells me that solipsism is fake and isn't a thing to be practiced at all. If you can't or shouldn't treat your awakened moments the same as your dream states, then solipsism is not a reality.
