r/solipsism

What if an evil demon is deceiving me into believing this world exists?

So god became me and put me in a shitty life and now I'm just here alone witnessing the unfolding of the movie while nobody else truly exists aside from images and sounds. I think many times about past solipsists and how much they must have suffered. Existence is truly a waste.

You could have been born as anything. A tree. A squirrel. A monkey. A mosquito. The chance of being born as the highest iq animal on the planet is one in... a lot. billions? trillions? A lot.

You also could have been born as a human who doesn't care or know about solipsism. You could have been born with an intelligence incapable of holding on to solipsism for very long or at all conceptually.

You could have been born into a country or tradition that forbid such beliefs, and with a mind that didn't go against those beliefs.

But you weren't. You were born as someone who comes to this subreddit. So the chances of being a solipsism-pondering level human are like, lets say 1 in 20 or 1 in 100. Are you getting the picture yet? The chance of you being you, a human with this capacity is so rare as to be....

A GLITCH.

You are not the average "THING" in existence. You are the most advanced form of consciousness possible at this time.

So we can deduce: (A) Awareness only localizes itself in the most advanced consciousness OR (B) that is a function of its dream and all else is a part of you. OR (C) you are so lucky that you won a one in trillions lottery. And since i think science now says that rocks are conscious to some level, as is all matter, its actually a lottery in which the odds against you being as advanced as you are is approaching infinity... since you could be localized awareness in the consciousness of a rock (if that is possible...if consciousness IS awareness or they always go together).

TLDR: Is it too unlikely that you (or i assuming you dont exist) would be at the goldilocks point for knowing about solipism and be localized awareness if EVERYTHING has localized awareness? I'm going with.. almost definitely yeah. Theres a 99.99repeating% chance you'd be something else other than a human that is open enough to understand and think about solipsism (aka the most complex and open-minded form of consciousness we are aware of.)

After naturally coming across this concept of solipsism and speaking on the wrong channels on here.

I've been guided to this one.

Where all I ask is that you share your favourite pros or cons for solipsism.

As right now, I'm completely convinced.

But at the same time Deep Down I do know that it changes nothing, because what's real and not real is unidentifiable.

Therefore life goes on.

If God existed, why wouldn’t He choose life to be just one person and live the best life?

You know, those miniscule black flying little specks. Are they conscious? Do they have a visual field of view? Are they sentient and having a first person experience.

What if they are not? That means other moving physical beings might also be drones. Thoughts?

This paper proposes the Solipsistic Civilization Cycle (SCC)-a cross-domain theoretical framework integrating developmental psychology, political science, thermodynamics, and geopolitics to explain the simultaneous crises of individual identity formation, state legitimacy, and civilizational resource competition currently active in 2026. The framework argues that three interlocking systems-biological vulnerability in adolescent development, the structural mechanics of the state apparatus, and the thermodynamic limits of energy-based civilization-produce a self-reinforcing cycle in which populations become increasingly governable through affect rather than reason, while competing elites use the state as a resource-extraction and power-alternation machine. Drawing on Erikson, Mumford, Tainter, Odum, Ibn Khaldun, and Spengler, and validated against current events including the Strait of Hormuz closure, Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela, and documented adolescent neurological research from 2025-2026, the paper presents a falsifiable, empirically grounded synthesis. Areas of theoretical overreach in earlier formulations are corrected and replaced with evidence-based reformulations.

... in a holographic, "spectral" sense.
