If you exist, you have a self. So long as you know you exist, your self is present. The moment you lack a self, you no longer exist and are effectively dead.

If this is not clear, obvious, solid, undeniable, and indisputable to you, then there is just no point.

I am weary of watching René Descartes spin in his grave.

Have fun.

It's evident how your solipsistic view of things and your hubris feed each other.

There is no solipsism in anything I said. I have no idea why you are invoking an entirely separate branch of philosophy other than, perhaps, you simply don't understand the terms you are using.

If you wanted to talk solipsism, you should have said that. We were discussing phenomenology, last I heard.

Now, I am just confused by you. Either you haven't got a clue, or you are just trolling me. Either way, I am now done.

Try looking up both terms. Learn what they actually mean. Yes, they could overlap, but so could a lot of things with either term. Like I said - have fun.
