My Reflection as the Core of Existence

If solipsism is true, the core of all physical existence is my own reflection.

If solipsism is true, the physical world is a projection of my unconscious, all of it reflects my self. My self consists of my unconscious and my psyche. My psyche is me, the conscious thinking me which exists independently,the part of me which says "cogito ergo sum", my thinking is me.

The physical world and observations which is not me is an illusion. But from all these illusions there is one that stands out, the reflection of my physical body, and to a lesser extent my shadow, collectively called my reflection. My reflection is the most real of all things more real than 'things' and 'humans'. My reflection is the projection of me in the physical world, it is what 'defines' me visually. As everything that appears to exist centers around my unconscious, and hence my self. My reflection is the core of all illusions, it is more real than all other illusions. 
Although in optics it is said that my image is virtual and not real,i.e. in the mirror, whereas things outside (or my observations) are considered 'real'; It is more real than other observations, yes my reflection is more real than 'you', because it is the unconscious projection of my psyche. My psyche is the essence of all things. So my reflection is the core of all physical existence.

And this is why my reflection amazes me.
This is narcissism to a whole new level.

Truth and Reality : Definition

When I talk about Truth and Reality, I am referring to two completely different ideas, and my usage of these two words is as far as possible strict.

Reality is what is real to you, whatever that you consider real. An illusion can be real but its reality can be affected by reason. There can be multiple realms of reality, one above the others, and hence one is more real than the others or there can be realities that are not connected in any way, one of them being an illusion. And indeed every different reality have different degree of reality, and there is one absolute reality, which is the Truth. Thus the degree of reality is a reality's relation to the Truth.

Therefore whereas Reality is relative, Truth is absolute, Truth is the only one Absolute.

Empirical Perspective on Free Will

If we take an empirical point of view in which our ideas and concepts all derive from our observations, the relationship between Free Will and Determinism seems interesting.

Free Will is derived from the act of simply choosing, or you may say the illusion of making conscious decisions (depending on your position regarding Free Will). Or in other words Free Will is the extrapolation of our observation of a decision making act. To make things clearer, consider this, we observe numbers and large numbers, hence there is a concept of large numbers and we extrapolate this idea saying that there is an extremely large number the googol and there is the abstract idea of infinity, although we never observe this. This illustrates how the concept of Free Will may be generated empirically.

If Free Will is only a derivative concept and since the observation which it derives from is true, that yes there is an act of choosing in my world, then the idea cannot be simply dismissed, you cannot say that there is no free will.

This of course does not deal with the nature of free will.
Determinism can still be true. If determinism is true then the act of choosing is determined and not a conscious act. Then freewill becomes a subset of determinism since the act of simply choosing is a product of determinism, be it Divine or mechanistic.

This is not dealing with the well defined metaphysical concept of free will, but with our idea of free will, the free will shape that our mind has. This is what we can deal with naturally without any effort on studying what others define free will as. This is our Natural Empirical Free Will Thought Shape.

The Reason for Colosseum

 "The true nature of reason is such an abstract concept. One that is beyond human mind, or any derivative mind in that matter." - Severinus Pseudosolipsist, 2014

Many would find it rather irrelevant to question one that is already determined abstract, and since it is already beyond us, it is entirely useless to pursue knowledge in such a path. We don't think so. My good friend Pseudosolipsist always mentions about how the purpose of humanity is to advance closer to the truth, no matter how far, no matter how impossible it may seem. Our pursuit may behave like an exponential function approaching assymptote that is true: always nearing, never reaching, yet closer regardless. After all, aren't we all here, in the age of advanced technology and questioning consciousness, as a result of our predecessors continuous effort on learning the basic nature of things and questioning what seemed ridiculous at their point in time? These "leap of faith" are, in my opinion, of essence.


The colosseum is essentially a platform for us to note down our thoughts, our leaps, our attempts at reaching the unreachable. It might be the dumbest, reckless idiot that entered the colosseum to show how insignificant he truly is. It might be the most daring and most challenging of thoughts that entered the colosseum, standing for what it really believe is true until the last breath. And you, you are the audience sitting from the seemingly higher ground, watching, analyzing, judging, for the life of a gladiators also depend on the direction your thumbs are pointing at. In the end, it is the beast that are before him, the audiences shouting insults and singing praises for him, and the others fighting for the same purpose, that will truly shape a gladiator into his truest form. These gladiators are our ideas, and for such a purpose the Colosseum of Reason exists.

So let it be known that the battle has begun. May those worthy of progress stand tall.
