What is the opposite of Solipsism? Like believing that everyone

The opposite of solipsism would be that you don't experience anything

According to Wittgenstein, the opposite of solipsism is realism (from the tractatus), but somehow they can both be true at the same time.

>What is the opposite of Solipsism?
It's definitely not believing that everyone is normal except for you and that you are broken or incomplete

The opposite of Solipsism, is Solipsism, and by that I mean: believing that "others" exists and that "you" do not. It's paradoxical psychosis dude.

This is probably the correct answer

No, what he says is that when solipsism is taken to its ultimate conclusion - where the self gets so small that it disappears, as it were - you are left with Realism. He merges them so that the distinction between them collapses. In other words, they're both bullshit. (Some contemporary people, e.g. Hilary Putnam, have called the resulting view small-r realism. Others think giving it a name defeats the whole purpose.)

The opposite of Solipsism is called "not being a retard"

What does one believe if they don't believe in solipsism? You can't just sweep the problem of other minds under the rug.

That's depersonalization.

Just the phrasing as "Opposite of solipsism" is hard to unpack.

Solipsism is a narrative. It is just as much a story as Platonism or Sophistry. It still distinguishes sensation as existing, and everything else as perception..

The world is; everything you can say or think or feel or sense or argue or corroborate about the world is still just a story of the world.

Reducing that story to a homunculus crouched in your head is no less a story than expanding your consciousness into the void.

But you are stuck with the story, because if you didn't have it, you would never know you didn't have it.

The world has no reason to make a story of itself, and without a story, the world is indistinguishable from a story of randomness.

So you can find the story of solipsism useful as a comparison to other stories people are trying to persuade you to believe to out all the things you make up, and if you are sober and honest, you will eventually see that the solipsism story is made up too.

How would you tell the difference between solipsism and not? You can't. It's a meaningless idea.

the whole notion of 'other' is unwarranted. you are not seperate from the rest of existence.
