Hey guys. I know this has been discussed many times before on here and you are probably sick of it, but I'm having a problem.
My question is slightly different from the usual "please refute solipsism" questions. I don't care about refuting it with absolute certainty. However, my problem lies between choosing what to believe. Frankly at this moment I don't know what is more logical to believe.
Why? Because Solipsism is unfalsifiable. But at the same time, is not reality unfalsifiable?
One could approach this from 2 directions. The general response is, "Yes, it's a possibility, but prove to me that this world is an illusion".
But could one not also come from the direction, "ok I've doubted everything, memories, reality, and I can only be certain of my own existence. So prove to me that reality exists or I won't believe it".
Does the last one seem logical?
I'm stuck and I'm actually quite anxious over this whole thing (I have been through this solipsism thing once before, but it seems my doubt didn't go deep enough and now I'm stuck in this situation again).
Thanks for the help guys!
