This is one most of you have probably read or watched the YouTube video for. But if you haven’t, please enjoy! The YouTube video is excellent but the story is great either way.

It’s a neat idea for sure. I think the actual word for this… Ideology?..is solipsism. It’s a pretty wild rabbit hole if you’re bored and possibly stoned enough to dig around. Which is actually how I found this years ago.

Don’t know why I never thought of Descartes before this in relation to that story. Lol, I guess you could say I saw what I wanted to…

Also, the idea you were thinking of is pantheism not solipsism
