jvandyke_texas 432 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The world is real. Other people are real. Understanding this is part of a child's socialization. Solipsism is a primitive and passive belief used to justify a lifestyle of doing nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding this is part of a child's socialization...... I think Michael covered this in the clip I posted? Also, Dr. Hoffman brings up the issue in his video, and both seem to be indicating that the construct of a societal 'reality' has to exist, and other 'conscious agents' (as Hoffman puts it) are vital to the framework of reality. 1 hour ago, jvandyke_texas said: .....Solipsism is a primitive and passive belief used to justify a lifestyle of doing nothing. Couldn't it go the other way as well? It seems a very narcissist friendly ideology, and narcissists tend to be very ambitious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
