Is Objectivism the philosophical opposite of Utilitarianism?

Redpillism is the only thing you need

>Solipsism is a reasonable philosophy
>if you're solipsist you're sure only of your consciousness
>therefore if you believe in solipsism objectivism is a synonim for utilitarianism

Problem solved

Surely by that logic you could say solipsism is the opposite of any school of thought, and every philosophy is interchangeable?

not really, altruism is the opposite of objectivism, no? though at the same time, it truly isn't, can an ethical theory really be the opposite of another...

the opposite of utilitarianism would be some sort of deontological ethics, surely

or you could just say that lmao dude nihilism is the opposite of all ethics

Through solipsism you can be sure only of your well-being, and Objectivism bring you to act only on your self-interest. Since your consciousness could be the totality of this universe you're being utilitarian.

"could be", but I'm pretty sure a proper utilitarian would put more effort into trying to figure out what is most likely good for the totality of this universe.

an objectivist really wouldn't have to care about possibly hurting others in the process, but a "solipsist utilitarian" would at least avoid hurting others - it isn't "no one besides me exists", just "I am the only one I can know for sure to exist". wouldn't that lead to a prioritization of the self, but all the while avoiding causing damage to others

That's an arbitrary assumption. To be a solipsist is a choice, and since we're talking here about actual beliefs an actual solipsist would live his life as if he was the only consciousness in existence.

A sceptic solipsist would act as you've told us, but a committed solipsist (a real psycho) is being both utilitarian and objectivist.
