Solipsism is the notion that the only thing that can be experienced and proven rationally, is the first person experience. As you read this you view it from the filter of idiocy that you normally see everything from, e.g. the first person. It is impossible to refute, and it doesn't mean that a person is narcissistic if they believe in it. Nor does it mean that the person believes they are the only thing that exists, it means that they can rationally believe in only themselves as everything else is beyond their experience, much as i cannot rationally believe in Peru until i visit it, but we're not all perfect. Urban Dictionary

Solipsism is the belief that nothing exists outside of oneself. It is a skeptical philosophy that was made popular by Rene Descartes. Simply put, solipsists believe that everything they experience is created by their imagination. Urban Dictionary

The philosophical theory that one is the only person that actually exists, and everything else is constructed as a result of their imagination, including everybody they know and everything that's ever happened. In other words, it's an excuse to be a complete arsehole. Urban Dictionary

Solipsism is the fact (as much as any other so called fact), that we create our dreams not only at night when we sleep, but also in the day. As well as before we are "born," and after we so call "die." The dreams in the day only appear more "rational." It is not that "we are the only thing that exists," but that our consciousness is all that exists. Our consciousness is just our individual reflection of the consciousness of the entire universe, (what is commonly called "God." ) It takes time to perceive everything (time being an illusion), except for our consciousness which is instantaneous. This means that what we perceive is also us. Governments, as well as organized religions, military, industrial, and educational systems conspire, and know this fact, but put out the Descartian, dualistic view that there is an external foreign "enemy". The latter view is put out for their advantage which everyone must follow or be marginalized, imprisoned, or eliminated. This view works to the disadvantage of everyone not following the Church, State, Military, Industrial, Educational Crime-Pseudo crime fighting system. Urban Dictionary

The third paradigm of philosophy in which value and meta-value are identical. A paradigm in which linearity and duality share an ambiguous relationship. Contrasted to the paradigms of analytic and synthetic philosophy which are linear and cyclical respectively. Urban Dictionary

This is not slang. It means a perspective based on one's own individual situation rather than a multiperson perspective. Urban Dictionary

In Philosophy A term, developed by Palestinian Professor Mohammad Tarshihi; used to describe the reality of knowledge of terms incorporated only by the self. Wherein, any linguistic property developed by one's self renders a universal truth value. Urban Dictionary
