Solipsism is the fact (as much as any other so called fact), that we create our dreams not only at night when we sleep, but also in the day. As well as before we are "born," and after we so call "die." The dreams in the day only appear more "rational." It is not that "we are the only thing that exists," but that our consciousness is all that exists. Our consciousness is just our individual reflection of the consciousness of the entire universe, (what is commonly called "God." ) It takes time to perceive everything (time being an illusion), except for our consciousness which is instantaneous. This means that what we perceive is also us. Governments, as well as organized religions, military, industrial, and educational systems conspire, and know this fact, but put out the Descartian, dualistic view that there is an external foreign "enemy". The latter view is put out for their advantage which everyone must follow or be marginalized, imprisoned, or eliminated. This view works to the disadvantage of everyone not following the Church, State, Military, Industrial, Educational Crime-Pseudo crime fighting system.
If this view of solipsism were accepted by the masses, as opposed to the "current commonly accepted dualistic view," we would work together for all of US. instead of being divided and conquered as we are now, by the age old classical military technique. We would work 6 hours per year for a middle- class existence as described by Buckminster Fuller, inventer of the geodesic dome.

Get the solipsism mug.sol·ip·sis·sy·ist –noun
1. one who practices solipsissyism -- the propensity to preoccupy oneself with, and indulge oneself in, public displays of excessive self-pity and similar emotions in a manner far exceeding the average person's humble efforts to manage the same challenges.
The solipsissyist usually thrives most in front of audiences from dozens to millions, and employs techniques such as self-aggrandizement, passive aggression, and public crying in discussing self-concerned matters only, all in an effort to garner empathy and pity from others, and frequently to channel the audience's emotions toward other more insidious agendas.
Solipsissyists will frequently avoid or pay only passing attention to the concept that others may have the same or greater challenges than they. Doing so would undermine the function that acts of solipsissyism plays in channeling cheaply-won public emotions toward other topics.
Etymology:
sol·ip·sism –noun
1. Philosophy: the theory that only the self exists, or can be proved to exist.
2. extreme preoccupation with and indulgence of one's feelings, desires, etc.; egoistic self-absorption.
sis·sy –noun
1. an effeminate boy or man.
2. a timid or cowardly person.
3. a little girl.

You *might* go blind? -- and you're a successful, middle-aged adult? My 5 year old son IS blind in one eye and going blind in the other, and I don't know yet if it can be effectively treated, and what the underlying problem is (which could be worse). And where's MY multi-million dollar bank account and personal support group of millions of unquestioning sheep? Yet you sit there in front of a national audience and cry about your problems as if none of the rest of us aren't already facing something like that (or worse) every day? What a FUCKING solipsissyist!!!

Get the solipsissyist mug.The third paradigm of philosophy in which value and meta-value are identical. A paradigm in which linearity and duality share an ambiguous relationship. Contrasted to the paradigms of analytic and synthetic philosophy which are linear and cyclical respectively.
Solipsism unites the linear and the cyclical in an inconclusive (ambiguous) fashion such that a value becomes its own meta-value.

Get the solipsism mug.The solipsistic shit (or solipshit) is the shit you know you've taken, but when you check the bowl, there's nothing in there. This actually has a logical explanation. 9 times out of 10 when this occurs, the shit you took was so powerful and so heavy, that you basically dropped an anchor in the bitch, and the shit sunk to the bottom of the toilet half way down the drain and you just didn't see it.
Person 1: Man, I just this massive shit and I know I did, but there was nothing in the toilet when I looked.
Person 2: Looks like you've experienced the solipsistic shit.
