LOGICAL PROOF FOR SOLIPSISM
Kenneth C. Eng
Ever had a feeling that you were the only conscious being? Well, you are alone. Literally. There is a logical way to prove that no one else in the universe exists aside from yourself, and that you, in a way, are the only entity in reality.
Firstly, let us consider the logic of consciousness. Consciousness is a definite requisite of reality because without anything to experience reality, nothing would even exist. Sentience, by the Uncertainty Principle, is what creates reality at both the quantum and relativistic levels, and because of this, it is the dominant force in the cosmos. With so many human consciousnesses, however, one might wonder how solipsism could possibly be.
Let us next consider the aspects of space, time and matter. Everything is made of an infinite number of points, so the only truly fundamental element of matter/space would be the 0th Dimension (an infinitely small point in space). In this dimensionless realm, there would be infinite possibilities and thus an endless multiverse would manifest, encapsulating an infinite amount of consciousnesses. All of these “life forms” would exist in a continuum of sentience spanning from the less conscious to the more conscious. Those that are more conscious would be the ones who are more cognizant of the logic behind reality and their own creation, whereas those who are less conscious would be those who cannot think deep philosophical thoughts.
If there are an infinite number of consciousnesses, there must also be an infinite number of human or humanlike beings. Nonetheless, causation treats everything like a objects, so why should these humanlike beings be considered any more aware than stones? After all, existence only needs one consciousness for it to be, and that consciousness would be one with infinite intelligence. Some might argue that humans have such high intellect because their minds behave more complex and quantum-like than ordinary mechanical computers, but then it can be said that quantum-based beings are only responsive but not truly alive. Put in another way, there is no reason why quantum-based beings such as yourself shouldn’t be able to sense/react to events in the cosmos while being completely unconscious at the same time. After all, what is a highly complex self-aware, evolutionarily wise human but another machine in the vast cosmic order?
Thence, there is only one other element that can truly determine whether or not others are aware. If consciousness is a requisite of reality, then everything from the beginning of time must be in some way “conscious”. Then again, what is “consciousness” but a word? The only way to define it, “life” and “awareness” is through subjective reasoning, which leaves everything up to perception. Therefore, because the quantum level and macrocosmic realm both require perception to create reality, all it takes is a thought to decide whether you want to conceive others as conscious or not. Either way is equally real.
So why not assume that every human is just a machine? It gets rid of having to worry about morality and all the worries of social image. After all, it is obvious that most humans hardly think for themselves anyway and usually obey the instinctual constructs society implanted in them. They all sort of blend into one another, for just as blades of grass are essentially cloned repetitions in the cosmic order, so are submissive/weaker humans just mere clones of one another. Thought is an inherent part of being truly aware, and those with more capacity to contemplate are more in tune with and can more willingly control the cosmos than those who do not contemplate. Ergo, those who are too weak to think outside of what they are told (or those that are too weak to think at all), should not really be treated as life forms, and should be thought of as objects that are controlled by the unconscious and are equally unimportant because there are an endless number of them and they do not affect the universe. Thus, if you can understand this and believe it, then you are the only consciousness out there in a realm of solipsism unlimited. Unless of course, you choose not to be.
