my world view of solipsism and eternal recurrence

I think you've gone a really long time without a blow job.

Gizzythepushpull why do you say that?

Mostly because I think this eternal naval gazing results from dissatisfaction.

i understand your hostility with me, and perhaps I deserved that remark. after all, I just doubted your very consciousness.

I may be wrong about my life being the only life that ever exists. Even though my life is the only life to exist when it exists, I suppose it may be part of a sequential order of lives, which perhaps consists of everyone's life. Whereas the sequential order of lives is finite in order to avoid an infinite regress into the past of experience, and the sequential order of lives eternally recurs to satisfy the neccessity of eternal life. So in other words, I suppose I may live everyone's life one by one. I just have a hard time concieving of how lives can exist in a definite sequential order. Who's to say what life follows what life? How can there be an order to seperate lives?

I wasn't being hostile. You're quite free to doubt my existance if you like. As a devotee of solipsism haven't you ever wondered why there aren't more of you.

There would be no continuance of "you" (identity from this life) into another life, anyway, just the conjunction of another life starting, without recollection of the former one. We're completely at the mercy of how a particular embodied memory informs itself about the current status and history of the one life it has available to itself. We might just as well be wildly speculating that a single continuum of experience is embracing all lives simultaneously, since each one of them would be isolated to retaining memory only of their own current situation and past. None of them would have access to reflecting upon the events of the others, or the integrated whole of the overarching experience, so as to verify the circumstance.

It's all just pissing in the wind. Sober social enterprises need not bother with what lacks evidence, practical effectiveness, or resists falsification attempts. But such options might have emotional or motivating value to the individual. Solipsism for instance, is not a possibility for society, and thus it's futile for the individual to even be presenting such to society as a serious possibility open to herself/himself. It's a silent option. And quasi-religions that don't fit into "sober social enterprises" likewise might find value in the other metaphysical possibilities, but confined to themselves rather than encroaching upon the latter.

Yakmunch, in a way I too am a solipsist, but in my case the only mind is that of Brahma.
