Chapter 1. In Which Colin Disbelieves Everything

I don't exactly believe anything in the material world really exists.
That's OK. Nothing in the material world believes you exist either, so everything is even-Steven.
I don't believe you.

I've never seen a Christian solipsist.
I hope I never see on.
But one thing I know for sure...
I'd rather see than be one.

Just because I didn't vote for Obama and he won doesn't mean you need to be calling me names...


More on topic, I think I'd be more Kantian because I do believe God and the universe exists. But I'm probably pretty near a solipsist.

Actually, I was granted special neener-neener privileges until the end of 2009. It's a perk.

More on topic, who are you responding to? A splinter of a fragmented part of your mind having no independent existence, mayhaps?

This splinter suggests you look into Heidegger. Ignore the Nazi parts of his bio and focus on the pre-war metaphysics.

I'll try to grab some primary source stuff next time I'm at the library.
And no, I'm not that far gone.
