The Actions of The Solipsist
· 1 min read
The Solipsist refers to someone who has come to the logical dead-end that the only thing known for certain is the existence of one’s own mind. The Solipsist rejects the external world, rejects the existence of other people ─ Following the reasoning of Descartes to its logical conclusion.
The Fundamental Axiom
The Solipsist is the person who acts based on first principles. Thus, anything The Solipsist would do must be logically consistent.
We can then expand that to if The Solipsist does something, we should also do that thing, as it is guaranteed to follow logical propositions.
On the contrary, If you were to not do what The Solipsist does, then you are worse than one who has given up on reality ─ and the existence of other minds.
Such a person who has given up more than The Solipsist, has given up on themselves.
‘To act less than The Solipsist is to renounce even yourself.’
Frame your actions as if The Solipsist would do them.
Even ‘The Solipsist’ would do it.
If the answer is yes, you must act.
Avoid Inaction.
Avoid Complacency.
Act with the necessity of one whose world depends on it.
