Why is solipsism a flawed idea?
In: Other
I think the biggest flaw is that it’s unknowable. Subscribing to a solipsistic philosophy requires a certain disregard for how we as individuals can negatively impact the world around us. If solipsism is true, then that’s fine – it doesn’t really matter if we hurt the planet or other people because none of it is “real.”
However, since there’s no way to *know* that it’s true, there is a chance that the solipsistic person is causing real damage to a real world with real people in it.
