https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism"Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.
Metaphysical solipsism is a variety of solipsism. Based on a philosophy of subjective idealism, metaphysical solipsists maintain that the self is the only existing reality and that all other realities, including the external world and other persons, are representations of that self, and have no independent existence."
So, am I real? As real as Jesus, Thor, and Santa if the self is a mythological construct of the culture we are born in.
As much as I like to make fun of the utter BS of Mormon culture, their kookiness is just as valid as my own. Maybe we all really do live in our heads. The skull is Plato's Cave.
