    See this is what I was getting at earlier. Is this going to get locked? Probably not.

    But the thread on solipsism would have.

    I don't get it.

    Without doing much in the way of research into the matter, a deterministic universe makes much more sense to me than random effects coming out of nowhere. This, of course, should have no bearing on how people live their lives or make decisions.

    I am kinda solipsistic

    I believe people in first-world countries are real and people in third-world countries are "fake" insofar as they were created for the sole purpose of letting people in first-world countries enjoy their life more by contrast

    What am I if I don't like the majority of the people living on our planet and think that the only means to our survival is to wipe out the majority of the world's population or colonize mars?

    Or if I hate capitalism and money?

    Or any music made before 2000. Well most of it.

    Or if I hate labels and libels?
