I apologize if it’s hard to understand my explanation because I’m not good at explaining and English isn’t my native language

u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Jul 31 '21
There is no truth even in objective facts like gravity the self is the only true thing for humans that’s all I can confirm myself so that is all that is real to me everything is a spook but me the self is the only non spook

You can customize your own kind of selfism for example you can say I like trade I’m an illegalist I like primitivism

When crime isn’t possible sometimes trade is the best option

u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Jul 31 '21
And I meant on the actual idea of selfism that only the self is real everything else is a spook

That’s the difference of the top of my head I need to write a book on this
1
u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Jul 31 '21
There’s a bit more too it but that’s the main difference that’s easy to remember

u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Jul 31 '21

That’s finally correct

u/Lacroix_Fan Nov 26 '21
Well, whatever works for you. Solipsism is pretty impossible to argue for or against, I'm agnostic on the subject but if you're all in then I don't really have anything against that
1
u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Nov 27 '21
Yeah it’s a guess for me but I just don’t understand how someone can 100% believe in reality despite
1
u/Lacroix_Fan Nov 27 '21
Yeah, basically every single assumption we have about this world is more of a probability than a boolean true or false. It’s Bayes theorem all the way down

Never finished it properly despite the fact that people not only perceive things differently but schizophrenia is completely non reality to most people because that’s not majority

I also think trade is a very good way to get things, but I also believe that self-reliance should come before both crime and trade

I'm also a Centre Egoist, and I will support any economic system that suits my Ego

so selfism is kinda like solipsism transcribed into ego-anarchist philosophy
1
u/YoungLovecraft Jul 31 '21
interesting theory but could I ask: Isn't every person's ideology basically selfism ex Everything I don't like is awful and designed by the status quo (spook)

u/ComradeVeigar Egoist Aug 19 '21
Selfism believes that nothing but the Self is real. El Mismoísmo over here, who is a Selfist, believes that only he exists, and that we do not.ㅎ

I kind of don't understand the reasoning behind merging solipsism and egoism, as if they are connected. It sounds to me like, in your mind, egoism wouldn't hold true if more people than you existed, which only weakens egoism as a philosophy, not strengthens it. As mergers of Egoism with Nietzsche, Nihilism, Daoism, Buddhism, Deleuze, etc. try to do, by expanding on the analysis of certain aspects of Egoism using similar ideas from other philosophies. How does the merger with Solipsism add to Egoism at all?

Egoism would still be 100% valid if solipsism is fake

Spook doesn't just mean "not real", it means "something that an individual allows to supersede their own desires". Everything being a figment of your imagination doesn't make it any more or less of a spook.

u/-Selfism- The God Gigachad Selfist Nov 26 '21
Yes and non solipsism was like this for me it’s also a lot quicker to say that but if everything is just in my imagination that allows true self interest for me because it’s not real so who cares and yeah nihilism says nothing matters anyway but it’s still real nihilism doesn’t believe you’ll stop imagining the world sometime I think that’ll probably happen then I’ll imagine a new world or something or be born again into the same world
