Descartes' Error
The Walrus
Isn't solipsism a version of "perception is reality" , not really directly related to "i think , therefore i am" by descartes , cause descartes was a rationalist , and solipsism is everything but rational.. it's logical though and consistent but not falsifiable , which means it cannot be proven nor be denied.

Let's wait till one day a brilliant psycho-analyst stands up and finds some rational proof of solipsism ( if that's even a possibility ).

Crap untill proven otherwise wink.gif


p.s. didnt think my first post would be this unrelated to poker ! biggrin.gif

As I understand it, a true solipsist believes their reality is in fact a singularity.

The existence of others cannot be empirically proved nor disproved

Which is why I cant understand why Im responding.
