This document discusses two philosophical concepts: solipsism and fallibilism. [1] Solipsism is the idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist, and that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure or may not exist. [2] Fallibilism is the principle that human beliefs and understanding could be wrong and open to revision in light of new evidence. It argues that absolute certainty about knowledge is impossible.

1. Funktastic Ideologies
Yes, Funktastic is a word … prove it isn’t!!

2. Solipsism
This is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist.
The term comes from the Latin solus (alone) and ipse (self).
Solipsism as an epistemological position holds that knowledge of anything outside
one's own mind is unsure.
The external world and other minds cannot be known, and might not exist outside the
mind.
As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world
and other minds do not exist.
As such it is the only epistemological position that, by its own postulate, is
both irrefutable and yet indefensible in the same manner.
Solipsism is first recorded with the Greek presocratic sophist, Gorgias (c. 483–375
BC) who is quoted as having stated:
• Nothing exists;
• Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and
• Even if something could be known about it, knowledge about it can't be
communicated to others.

3. Bit like Matrix but without Agent Smith, The Oracle
or the need to be used as a battery power cell!

4. That’ll be why everything tastes like chicken …

5. But … wait …. If chicken doesn’t exist, how do I
know what it tastes like?!?!

6. WOAH!!! That’s heavy!!

7. Fallibilism
This is the philosophical principle that human
beings could be wrong about their beliefs,
expectations, or their understanding of the world.
In the most commonly used sense of the term, this
consists in being open to new evidence that would
disprove some previously held position or belief,
and in the recognition that "any claim justified
today may need to be revised or withdrawn in light
of new evidence, new arguments, and new
experiences."

8. Some fallibilists argue that absolute certainty
about knowledge is impossible . As a formal
doctrine, fallibilism is most strongly associated
with Charles Sanders Peirce , John Dewey , and
other pragmatists , who use it in their attacks
on foundationalism.
Another proponent of fallibilism is Karl Popper
(responsible for Falsification theory) who built his
theory of knowledge , critical rationalism , on
fallibilistic presuppositions.
