I've lost a word. Not senility, I remember that one .

Would someone very kindly remind me of the word for the belief that only oneself exists and that all else is the product of ones own mind. I've been trying to find it for two days without success and it's irritating .

Thanks.

Solipsism.

Wonderful!! Thank you very much indeed.

... solus (or sola) ipse 'oneself alone' ...

Here is a URL with discussion of the concept.

I allus figgered ifn I was gone imagine all this I'd'a done it with a bigger paycheck.

Yahs, but ain't theism just lopsided solipsism?

There ya go. Just wish whoever it was woulda imagined me a little richer. Mebbe I look too much like Tevya.

>>theism lopsided solipsism<<

Is solipsism binary?

. . . only when you imagine that look in the mirror

Is solipsism binary?

Yes, it can be, though it's usually considered to be ternary. It's also associative and transitive.

Thank you, everyone, for all that input; "...ask, and ye shall receive..." John 16:23.
