A dying friend dedicated his life to solipsism

[Solenoidclock]

If you were in this situation, what would you do with their tombstone or obituary? Would you say, "well, I guess it was all for naught"? Also, he comes from a long line of solipsists. What do you say to his family? Do they believe they brought this upon themselves? Do they mourn?

For those of you who don't see what a bizarre thing this is, solipsism is the belief that nothing is known to exist outside of your own mind. Other minds cannot be proven, as can't the rest of the universe. Everything is seen as a construct of his own imagination.

He is my friend because I used to screw with him constantly and he concluded that I couldn't be from within his own mind because I confused him so much. He is really very interesting to talk to, and I'm sure he'd write a book if he believed in legacy.

He might not die, but I worry about it.

You only worry about it because you know that if he dies you cease to exist.

I always wondered stuff like that when I younger, and it's a pretty fun concept.

Hes just another fragment of my imaginatiion.

you can't mention that a solipsist was a solipsist after they die without it being hilarious

[Solenoidclock]

"M promised me I wouldn't have to write an obituary because everything would cease to exist once he died. I learned today that we are all actually a figment of his mother's imagination, meaning that his life and death are all at her consequence. I'd like to invite the mother of the deceased to say a few words."

You know what's really hilarious
The fact that you only exist through the posts I see on this forum.
How's that feel

well, to be frank, I'm self-aware, so it bothers me more that as far as I'm concerned, you only exist only in the posts I see on this forum

PROBLEM SOLVED

update saves the day

[SockpuppetClock]

I don't know, sometimes I think that when all life dies in some infinite amount of time nothing will exist as there will be nothing to observe it, but that's just me.

Of course, the concept of nothing wouldn't exist to, so then what?

[Slurpee]

I don't think you understand the concept of solipsism

[AbsintheClock]

Rene Descartes was a drunken fart. I drink therefore I am!

It's sort of like Solipsism, but for the collective unconscious.

Wasn't collective solipsism how they internally referred to totalitarianism in 1984?

That's just what I wanted you to say.

i think i might be alone, but it's pretty dumb to say that you can be sure either way. just because i can't prove that the sun will rise tomorrow doesn't mean that i should start shitting my pants over it
