 # What is Solipsism? ***  *[source.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism)* *** # In short, Solipsism is the belief that even if there is meaning in this universe, there is no way we can know it, as nothing outside of one's own mind can be sure to exist. ***  # Let's see what a conversation with a proponent--whether knowingly or unknowingly--of this philosophy, looks like: *** **VOLUNTARYIST:** Hey man, what's up? You know, I was just thinking, I am so glad the natural reality of self-ownership is recognized by my fellow anarchists. More and more people are waking up. **SOLIPSIST:** Oh please. That "Voluntarism" stuff sounds nice *on paper* but it doesn't work in the *real world.* **VOL:** What do you mean? **SOL:** Well, take children, for example. They don't consent to everything and they have to do what their parents make them. See. They don't "own themselves." **VOL:** They still possess nature-conferred highest self-executive capacity. No one can enter their brains and think their thoughts or move their bodies for them. Sure children need guidance. That doesn't mean they are someone else's property, obviously. **SOL:** *Nature* doesn't *confer* anything. It's just nature. **VOL:** Well, certainly you'd agree that biological design and *order* exist to perform specific functions, right? So it is clear that a child is born with one brain and one set of organs, etc, rendering an un-divide-able (individual) entity. No other such entity can take control of those organs, or that brain, or that body, without applying force, or in a more direct fashion. The individual is part and parcel of that body and brainstem. These things can even be said to be one and the same for practical intents and purposes. Even if force is applied, that would almost always be a violation, and is clearly not a natural occurrence. We are each born in control of our *own* (see, *ownership* is right there in the language!) brains. **SOL:** OH PLEASE. "ORDER" IS A ***SOCIETAL CONSTRUCT.*** **VOL:** So your heart, with its distinct chambers and muscles for efficiently pumping blood, is not a biological order of sorts? **SOL:** Let's stay on topic. **VOL:** Huh? When did I go off topic? **SOL:** Look. You said that in order to have self-ownership a person must have a connection to their brain and/or body. Some people don't. What about those that are braindead, or paralyzed? What about infants. They don't control their bodies. **VOL:** Infants don't control their bodies? Just because they are in the process of development somehow magically means that they don't possess highest *direct* control over their bodies and minds? **SOL:** I can move their limbs by force if I want. **VOL:** Right, but not in the direct fashion that their minds do or *exist to do* (biological intention/design). And besides, that would be an outside application of force. That's all. As far as someone who is in a vegetative state, both you and I know it would be wrong for someone to say, rape that individual. Why? Because it defies nature's design. They are still not your property. A vacant house owned by someone else is not yours to occupy. An argument could be made for a family member deciding to "pull the plug" perhaps, but this marginal, potential gray area is no reason to say that self-ownership is nonexistent. **SOL:** You can't rhetoric yourself out of this one. Sorry. Reality doesn't work like that. I don't own myself. I'm just me. **VOL:** You just referred to yourself as "*MY*self," did you not? **SOL:** Please. That is just a linguistic mechanism. **VOL:** It has no meaning? **SOL:** Meaning is relative. Meaning is a social construct. You like to think in black and white, but nothing is absolute. **VOL:** Nothing is absolute...Hmmm. Is that statement absolutely true? **SOL:** ... ***(SCENE)*** *** # In short, solipsism is an untenable position, as it denies the possibility of knowing anything with any real degree of certainty about reality and how it functions, while at the same time *depending exclusively on said reality* as the forum and means by which to posit its arguments. In short, it is a self-detonating ideology. *** *NOTE: Regarding children and self-ownership, my friend Chris LeRoux has clarified the issue brilliantly and I will quote him now at length:* >When a couple engage in voluntary sex, they are forming a contract, whether written down or not. They are agreeing to make use of each other's property, their body and mind, for certain purposes, for a certain length of time, with certain potential outcomes. One of these potential outcomes is a new life. They are thus forming a pure, private trust, a contract which could result in a new life they are responsible for creating and caretaking until they are capable of assumming the full expression of their self-ownership, until they achieve adulthood. # ~KafkA [<center></center>](https://steemit.com/@kafkanarchy84) *** ***Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan.

Very interesting philosophy. So the idea is that the entire universe around us is really just a construct of our own mind? Everything we perceive is just what we think. It is interesting, but even if that is true wouldn't you perceive that people are independent? Otherwise the world would not be as it is. I guess they would argue the way "I" see it. Seems to be an incomplete thought. Maybe the argument to them is that each of us is real and independently changing the reality around us by the way we perceive the world. If we all think independently, the world will be so, if we think that the world is absolutely controlled, it will be. The argument is that the Solipsist has to agree with individualism or create a nightmare of their own construction.

' World and other minds donot exist' in this basis i can say that it may be alike the idea of solitary....being ownself.... the theory is a complex one... i my concern i too face this kind of thinking in my life.... when you feel something deeply with your own purspective the world dont exist..... your own mind and the being you are the ultimate reality there....

That exchange would have driven me crazy. I like the empty house analogy. "I can move their limbs by force if I want. .." Seriously? Lol. "Order is a societal construct " ..... Also i just did an article on the "gray area " It is simply put respecting those who are unable to physically advocate for themselves. And there has been many instances where those in a "vegetative" state recover and can then tell you about things that were happening around them. Never assume. Same can be said of dementia patients. Never assume They dont possess some control, they too have moments of lucidity, however brief

Is this a paraphrased actual conversation? Who is the solipsist? I think if someone actually believes they can't know what is real except for what they perceive in their own mind, they'd have to at least acknowledge that there are things within their mind that they seem to have control of and things that they don't. Their own thoughts and actions vs the people around them. If I were a solipsist, I'd also assume that the chances of the outside world being real would be just as likely as not, and therefore treat it as if it were real, as well as the possibility of meaning. Assuming it wasn't could lead to all kinds of problems, including mass murder and premature death as the solipsist jumps off of a nonexistent cliff. So, I don't really follow the reasoning as to why the solipsist would be against voluntaryism. I mean, it seems it could go either way. Unless you mean the kind of solipsist who assumes the worst?

Yeah, this is based on a real conversation. The person I am paraphrasing enjoys challenging me with impotent, wandering "arguments" and then loves to say "Aha! I got you!" when all he has really done is speak a bunch of disjointed and baseless non-sequiturs. Frustrating. >If I were a solipsist, I'd also assume that the chances of the outside world being real would be just as likely as not, and therefore treat it as if it were real, as well as the possibility of meaning. This is because you are thinking logically and in a way that makes sense. Lol.

ask and it is given. - jesus i'm not super religious, far from it. i was an atheist. but i put something to the test. i asked questions of God, and waited for the answer. like a cat watching its prey. i watched my mind, i watched the world around me, i quietly waited for what came out. if it wasn't the answer i'd dismiss the thought and continue waiting. end result, was i got the answers by following my attention. i couldn't force it to come, but i got very good at being observant of the world around me and my attention. sometimes i'd be drawn to people, place, books, and temples. I found many good people in the world, and found many great places to be. The world is an amazing place when all it holds are more answers and mysteries to unravel and unfold. I have proven to myself that i can be good at anything, and anything can be improved. this limitless nature is a given. bruce lee had a great philosophy, he expressed it in his work.

Yes, I love Bruce Lee's thoughts and ideas. You have said it all, my friend, about following and trusting your attention to turn up the answers. And you're right, it cannot be forced, but it is *always there* and always *limitless.* Thanks so much for this wonderful commentary.

I am simply thrilled to even see the word solipsism being discussed anywhere outside of textbooks. It's all around us.

Yes! Another excellent post. I don't think I've ever met a solipsist as coherent as your fictitious creation. It is unclear how solipsists fall for the 'evil demon' thought experiment, minus the demon. I think this is where the 'simulation hypothesis' originates in slightly altered form. The nature-conferred highest self-executive capacity is, ipso facto, demonstration of the direct control, and therefore, ownership of the self. The flaw in solipsism appears to be, in part, the assumption that 'it is possible, therefore it is certain'. It is creationism where the self is the creator, and sustainer. Since we are not extant before we are conceived, this is impossible, it denies direct observation.

Friend, you have shared a very important philososophical theory and impressive arguing...i think though the concept of"solipsism"is the supporter of one's own mind, that in one word it can be called as"self centered"motive..so other than his knowledge bearing such mentality, anything outside his mind is unjustified... So this type of solipsism "philosophy "cann't be acceptable at anymore... Thanks for sharing this post based on philososophical view...

Yes if everyone thinks for himself best, do his best without harming others, the world will be the happiest place to to live in. No doubt a child is a product of two souls but he should have a right to choose his way voluntarily,so head of to voluntarism. Have a happy night friend.

Very interesting, I agree that everything outside of self is unsure but also the things inside. "The map is not the territory" -A term coined by Alfred Korzybski, basically implying that we are separated from reality. The map is a metaphor for our belief system, values and principles (How we view the world), the map of the world we have in our minds is not the real world but just a reflection of our beliefs. Each person has a different reality, based on the fact that we all have different maps and ways to view the world. Most people (or all of them), instead of interacting with the world, interact with their map. Please check [my new post](https://steemit.com/life/@paps/rapport-how-to-get-in-sync-with-other-people), I think you will like it! @paps

I generally don't have a horse in this particular race, but it does feel like you are talking to a strawman here ;) I'm not 100% clear on what you mean when you say voluntarism and anarchism and I'm not sure what "a proponent of solipsism" really would be. To me with my quite possibly limited knowledge on the matter, anarchism is basically either an utopia or just a highly inefficient way to organize with a very low level of justicy ensured depending on the flavor and solipsism is the admission that there is an intrinsic problem with being sure of anything 100%, but which shouldn't stop us from accepting we share a common reality and going from there as the only practical thing we can do.

I guess I don't see it to be a straw man at all, especially since I have included and based the dialogue on the definition of solipsism. As far as Voluntaryism goes, I would say that a private-law society or societies, based on self-ownership and property is cold, hard common sense, whereas the current "system" (where 51% can force the other 49% to do things they do not wish to under threat of violence) based on extortion and mob rule is the utopian ideology. It simply, objectively cannot bring about a minimally violent social order, and the state's very existence *depends on* violence. To me, peace by non-self-defensive aggression ("peace by violence") is the most far-fetched and absurd utopian idea I have ever heard.

> I guess I don't see it to be a straw man at all, especially since I have included and based the dialogue on the definition of solipsism. The definition is not enough to get the full depth of a philosophical argument by any means. The reason this feels a bit like a straw man to me is that you haven't made your imagined conversation partner coherent enough. Generally speaking, the problem of solipsism is not something you can argue yourself out of and you haven't shown that at all and you have thus omitted the most important and potent things to mention about solipsism. > As far as Voluntaryism goes, I would say that a private-law society or societies, based on self-ownership and property is cold, hard common sense Well, to me that's just an assertion and I have failed to find convincing evidence or arguments to view it as correct. Maybe you have a good reason to think so that you might want to share? To be totally honest, I'm not absolutely sure what you mean by private-law and why you think it includes a practical mechanism that would decrease violence and injustice to levels lower than the current forms of democracy available. The reason this type of ideology seems like an utopia to me for now, is that all arguments I've seen presented in its favor all have the flaw of expecting justice to be an emergent property of freedom. To me that's absolutely unreasonable as we see that even at the threat of violence and punishment, there are plenty of people willing to act in ways that harm others. What are the mechanisms under voluntarism that ensure justice and lack of violence? Seems to me that just a handful of bad actors can easily destroy all the supposed benefits of such a system and keeping in mind what we are seeing currently, bad actors are unlikely to be in short supply. That's why I see it as an utopia, just like the more romantic brands of socialism or communism, it expects everybody to act faithfully which is impossible. > It simply, objectively cannot bring about a minimally violent social order, and the state's very existence depends on violence. That is also an assertion that has not been demonstrated to me yet. The fact that the current social organization we are using has a lot of flaws (which of course it does) does not mean that you can just define a better one without somehow showing that it is possible for it to actually exist in the form that you are defining it in. Objectively, you haven't shown that a less violent social order is indeed possible. I really can't imagine the mechanisms that would allow anarchy, the free market and/or voluntarism to ensure justice, to prevent violence and so on. Really, under the system you are imagining, what would stop people from breaking contracts, from securing control over resources with violence, from abusing children or from any other act of violence or injustice? What would you do in the context of voluntarism to stop a large religious community that thinks men can marry nine year old girls and the fact that some of those girls die on their wedding nights is just an unfortunate accident that they are adamant outsiders do not have the right to punish or restrict? Let them be? But that would not decrease violence, it would increase it. I'm asking because I do care what I believe in and what I fight for. I see a lot of different brands of anarchists here on Steemit and I feel I should investigate more deeply why those people hold those beliefs that seem truly illogical to me right now. Maybe there is some failure of imagination on my part, I don't know and that's why I'm asking.
