I understand completely your communication. It is a word that best describes the ability to be completely shut off from external input and defaulting to inherent drives and biological survival commands. (Revision: No. The ability to not even recognize external impetus due to biological commands) It would be much deeper than let’s say an engram.I am not dictating definitions. I hope you don't take my comments personally. They are not intended as attack. My goal is clarification. I could just as well tell you not to read my post/s. What good does that do? We are trying to communicate clearly and reach an understanding of how things actually work to improve the quality of our lives. My goal is clarification based upon the actual meaning of the terms.
We are not that far apart actually. I am simply pointing out that solipsism is TYPICALLY and most widely used to point to philosophical error, especially those of an epistemological nature, namely that relying solely on one's own thoughts makes communication impossible. It makes scientific statements impossible. It makes the application of science impossible.
Solipsism is radical idealism and relativism. This is where you get wacky ideas like transgenderism and postmodernism, totally anti-scientific ideas, literal delusions masquerading as valid forms of existence or thought.
Here is a decent starting point for an understanding of solipsism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism#cite_note-maar-2
Solipsism (/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/ ( listen); from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self')[1] is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist.
If you have a word to best describe unconscious commands that are influential to the actions and considerations of the person, please give me that word.
I’m not a supporter of leftist ideals and I don’t have an aversion to using the same word. Selfishness is not a reasonable common denominator despite the ideas of Kant, Jung or any other philosophical genre.
