I saw this quote and it reminded me of this thread.
“Life is problems. Living is solving problems.”
― Raymond E. Feist, Silverthorn
That, when you think about it is awfully true. Life is a giant clump of problems mashed together which makes life.
And when we are here, while we are coding, hacking, doxing or whatever, we're solving problems.
So, theoretically, we're probably some of the most living people out there. Sometimes people call hackers nolifes.
The thing is, they're so wrong. When they are playing their soccer and enjoying their Instagram followers, they're like small unique copies.
They live inside a box, where this is called common-sense. While we, mathematicans, hackers, programmers, those who had dared to think for themselfes for 1 minute, are the new elite.
The people who didn't get dirt on their clothes, and said "yes mommy", and was always listening, they are standing around in panic not knowing what to do.
On the other side there is the mutants that was out exploring and didn't mind about their clothes, that ends up being able to save the world.
That's probably why I'm om HC. People don't understand me, and then there are these people, that does understand you, and listens, it's quiet amazing.
That's what I think in all honesty.~

I never want to think about this kind of stuff because whenever I do I get way too involved and I can't really snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked.

I see what you did there! :troll:
That was really witty though. I like your style.

OP google ''Solipsism''.
To answer your question, I don't think there is any way to disproof solipsism in a scientific manner. However there is a lot we can not disproof, that doesn't make it true though. I think the idea that the entire world is just imagination is very unlikely and it would definitely be a fart stretch from the imagination we usually speak of. I really can not think of any reason to belief this is true, besides the fact that it can not be disproved.
I do like to belief in a different, also rather silly idea, that some variation of the fictional story ''the egg'' is true. Not so much because it can be proven in any way, but because for me it would mean an understandable purpose to life and the ultimate moral justice.
Edit: If you're interested, here is a link to the story I was talking about http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html . If you don't trust me, google: the egg by Andy Weir.

This is a fun test. Look an object that is around you. Observe the object. Study it's shape, color, and texture. While doing this don't touch, or change your view on it. Now take away the texture. You now have an object that you cannot feel. Take away the color and you cannot feel anything from it. Take away it's shape and you see nothing. So this is basically just saying you rely on your senses to tell what reality is. Reality is how ever you perceive it to be. You do live in your own reality that you have created for yourself.
