I am moving Robert's post to this new blog############ Dino
I am only discussing solipsism - i am not convinced of it nor of anything for that matter - except perhaps absurdity.
both all things i sense and perceive around me and myself may only be in my mind or they both may be made up of something physical.
they are the same either way.
one is not one way and the other another way.
i do not stress the importance of myself more than anyone or anything other other than i am more aware of myself than anyone or anything other.
i am dependent on them for my own existence and survival.
i do not and perhaps cannot know for sure where or how far my being extends.
it may extend to the limit of the universe - i don't know, though that does seem improbable.
yes, objects need space to exist since they embody space - and time - by their existence.
no space and time - no objects.
so then, who am i and what am i holding in my hand smoking?
