I was playing apples to apples yesterday and this stupid b-word was the judge and she got the “extreme:explosive,radical etc” green Apple card and I was like sweet I’m definitely gonna win cause I have the “ Big Bang theory” card so I played that and you know what this stupid fricking b-word said RIGHT TO MY FACE???!!
That shows funny but I don’t think it’s very extreme.
I obviously start to berate this stupid whore for being such a stupid whore but the entire group starts defending her
it’s just a game anon
why are you taking this so seriously
She then proceeds to pick the “fireworks” card and at that point I grabbed my shit and left I hate women so much it’s unreal.

She’s a woman so she might not know what the Big Bang Theory is/was.

So as a solipsist do you believe me to be a figment of your imagination or some sort of simulation programmed to trick you?

Closer to the latter. I believe it is an ethereal illusion, of sorts. Metaphysical stuff “exists” (in my mind at least), but at the same time it doesn’t. But there is absolutely a higher power beyond my understanding.
Relatedly, it just doesn’t add up mathematically that I just happen to be conscious right now on an infinitely long time scale.
Solipsism is (intentionally I believe) misrepresented to say that “I am God” which is actually the inverse of reality (sound familiar?) Solipsism does prove the existence of a higher power…but that higher power is unknown.

why does quantum field theory seem to hold rather consistently throughout the ethereal illusion? Why do other people seem to be so similar to you if it’s an illusion?
Why
why? it’s improbably that there are 10^26 atoms of hydrogen per gram (big number). It’s improbable that we have any situation we’re in because it should be another. Who cares. Improbable vs what? What does that even mean? What’s probable?

The most probable truth is that a higher power exists.
I believe existence as we - or at minimum I - observe it is improbable since "time" is infinitely long in both directions. This would make it more improbable than anything that has a numerator and denominator, such as the example you gave. The only mathematical way existence is possible (as we consider it), is if there was a moment that time began. Which I personally believe is not possible.
I'm uncertain why quantum field theory would not be consistent in the scenario I'm presenting. As for the "trouble with other minds", as it is known...I'm not sure. Perhaps my best evidence (albeit flimsy) is the viscerally negative reaction this theory elicits in the few people who will discuss it. This includes the greater philosophical community throughout history, with very few exceptions. I say "people who discuss it", because this perspective is very taboo. Many aspects of what I mention here will return zero Google results (granted it might be the words I'm including). Even the more broader topic of existence itself is rarely discussed outside very niche circles, which is odd since it is singularly the most important topic.

what is a higher power and what higher power
loop universe, or finite time, or infinite time with max entropy fog at the end and empty beginning, or a million other tweaks. Still leaves a finite area where life is possible
why would QFT hold in your dream
solipsism has a Wikipedia article and is a well discussed concept. Plenty of people were amenable to it or nihilistic or existentialist ideas. Existence is also extremely commonly discussed among philosophers and smart pseuds and many people. Buddhism, western philosophy, it’s absolutely covered in words. Most of them are shit (Buddhism is better tbh) but it’s something
again they really do seem like you! Nihilism and solipsism really are common! And you had a mom and dad right
