Solipsism
1 Theory that the self is the only thing that can be known and verified
2 Theory or view that the self is the only reality

holy shit!



i swear i am not making this up, i talk about this in the show that had it's final performance last night. in the letter preceding it, the mother character says "and i still insist solipsistic means pretentious" and in my respone i say "PS - solipsism is the theory that self is the only reality, i looked it up"

Shouldn't this be in the Prince forum?

I was thinking of titling it "Is Prince a Solipsist?"

I had to give up being a solipsist when it became clear I couldn't pronounce it without spiiting.

Just because we're the only ones that know the self from the most intimate perspective of "being" the self does not imply that everything (and everybody) else isn't knowable to an objective degree.
