Enactive approaches are not solipsistic because the world which is given rise to by our cognitive systems is shared with others. The language we speak and which forms the basis of all our thoughts about the world is a SHARED language.

  • Why do I see so little understanding of Kantian philosophy on Utube? What you are talking about my friend is essentially Kant's 'categories of understanding' and yet few seem to give his philosophy credit despite Kant being the peak of European rationalism.

  • Yeah all phenomenology pretty much started with Kant. I've given him props for in in some other videos.

  • that relationship that you discribed is quite true

  • @koda215 Maybe he enjoys thinking about the deep pointless unanswerable questions because he likes that weird feeling it gives you.

  • What the heck is this guy talking about ??

  • @carpnter2000

    Solipsism states that individuals that we seem to interact with, are actually mere components of the subconscious.

    Sort of like Inception, in a way. Except no one is real.

  • If a tree falls over in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a noise?

  • mate, listen ive watched some of your videos and i can answer anything you want to know in a very simple way which = the correct way!! your wasting your time and energy on trying to complicate things and spend hours and hours of wasting your life in such a way i feel abit sorry for you!! It cant be easy mentally torturing yourself with millions of complicated questions that you cannot seem to answer. your mssin out on your youth and enjoying life by doing this!! the answer CHARLES DARWIN!!

  • OK,, I am trying to wrap my head around solipsism. If every thing around you is basically only there as a figment of your mind. All the people you run into and the situations that are dealt with on a daily basic. If while you are interacting with something that you basically created and lets say, having a conversation about boats. You are having this exchange about sails and out of the blue this other person says "fucking hot dogs!!" Where does the blame lay for the insanity if not on you?

  • While I think that only a diluted ego-centrist would subscribe to solipsism, the idea of it is of interest to me. I feel like it also ties into the idea of "self fulfilled prophecy" as many solipsists feel that reality (or rather the perception we know as reality) can be changed by our mind (although not consciously but through the the subconscious).

  • @goglesux

    who cares what he's doing lol

  • you wana look quite smart, but question is why do you record a dumb video then while you are driving?
