The outside world?
November 14, 2012 at 6:37 pm
It has always been an unusual and eschewed concern, that of whether anything external to us exists, and I've been entirely absorbed by it recently. The idea of rejecting the external world perturbs me, as I suppose is natural, but I thought I ought not simply ignore the claim but discuss it with you all. What are your views? Let's generate some theories (Or steal those of others)
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

Reality may be boring but it is all we have.

Rejecting the world leads you nowhere. If you reject the external world, you're left alone with your yourself. Solipsism may not be possible to disprove, but it's sterile.
