I’ll be trite for this one and kick it off with a definition, because I imagine not all of my readers are familiar with the term solipsism, and I figure I’d save you the google search.Solipsism is defined as “the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist”, and is most typically associated as a philosophical belief system, akin to absurdism, nihilism, stoicism, etc.Whereas Descartes utilized “I think, therefore, I am” or “Cogito ergo sum” for my more pretentious readers, as means to establish A baseline from which to start drawing other conclusions regarding the nature of existence, solipsism basically stops there and says “I am, and that is all I can know.”Many will, of course, criticize such a view for being, at best, incredibly limiting while also opening up to a world of debauchery and psychoticism/sociopathy, as one who does not believe in the existence of anything outside of themselves has no need for empathy, compassion, or regard for the health and wellbeing of others, HOWEVER, I have found solipsism to be a fundamentally beneficial belief system in the realm of physical training and nutrition: so long as one is willing to accumulate enough experience to be able to have a significantly LARGE “self” to know.
