It also doesn't explain Platonic realities, which we don't experience in the sense we experience the exterior world, but which are nevertheless real and even more clearly independent of us. If we truly were gods on which the world depended ontologically, there wouldn't even be the question of whether reality is dependent on us or not. Solipsism does have its virtues, however. It is a good argument to use against the absurdity of the entirely false dialectic that is modern epistemological debate. Both rationalism and empiricism lead to the falsehood of solipsism, showing them to be wrong.

Rationalism and empiricism leads to solipism... but Jesus is the son of God cuz... um... you know... Reality is whatever I want it to be and I just happen to like the idea of a Judeo-Christian God who came down from heaven to chill with us... I like it better than other religious nonsense and that's all that needs to be said about it... cuz... um... I don't need to provide a rational argument or evidence... cuz... um... magic or something...

Less Plato, Abubu and more Aristotle. Perhaps you'll also learn to be less of a scumbag. Jesus doesn't like shady, deceptive people, you hypocritical cunt.

It's very easy to forget that you're almost 40 years old when you so consistently behave like an angsty little teenager. I'd advice you to stop being such a petulant narcissist that lives his little 2D-cubicle life venting off about whatever reminds him of the things he feels he's been wronged about and what's wrong with his life and just start dealing with yourself. Otherwise, you can just keep continuing to be a petty little shadow of a man drinking his bitter tears to quench his emptiness. And do respond with more of the same bitter moaning and sobbing and show me how right I am, that way you get to feel like you've won something and keep being your worthless little self.

Solipsism works only if one is both omnipotent and immortal.If the universe of my experience is my own creation entirely, why is there so much in it that is painful, injurious, or even lethal to me ?

I tend to belive that pure consciousness is one and it manifests itself through inteligent beings but it exists outside time and space...therefore through a roundabout way it can simultaneously but seperately be present in multiple physcial beings coexisting in our world limited by time and space. That's how I imagine it atleast. I also don't belive all humans are concsious.
