Not only did I believe religion was false, but I somehow in the back of my mind thought that all the adults were conspiring to get me to believe this. Furthermore, I always for the longest time, not that I shaped my life around it, but for the longest time imagined that when I died I would wake up only to discover that I was an Alien from another planet dreaming the entire time. I don't know if this conflicted, but as well I thought that every single person was a figment of my imagination and would only life their life and do things when I was going to witness, and that if I wasn't aware of what someone was doing they weren't actually doing anything or even a real person. I didn't live my life around that, but it was kind of one of those things like "Yeah that could be true".
I suppose its a little weird, but hey, no weirder than any messiahs walking around on water and coming back to life.
You run with what you want bro.
I came across that a few weeks ago, and it's what got me reflecting.
Solipsism:
" is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledgeof anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist."
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
