Consider the words on the screen. There are two sources of information.
-
The words, how they’re arranged and such.
-
The meaning that you assign to the words. Meaning drawn from a lifetime of memories.
99% of the information comes from the assigned meaning. So 99% of what’s going on here is you talking to yourself.
???
I mean, words aren’t just used by yourself. Many people collectively assigned a meaning to specific words. How is this solipcism?
Words are ways to encode ideas like 0 and 1s in a computer or flashed of light as in a morse code.
Words are a way to express ideas from your brain to another brain.
Flowchart:
Your Brain -> Idea -> Word -> Spoken -> Vibration in air -> Interpreted by another person’s ear -> Word -> Idea -> The other person’s Brain
Does that make sense?
Its not solipcism… idk what you mean lol
