TBH I'm a Macroblank purist so if it wasn't for Baldwin I wouldn't have been here. Not my taste but I still like it quite a bit. Nice to break up the somber mood with a handsome face and some decent indie music.
Text on cover reads: Solipsism is a philosophical concept centered on the idea that science is the only thing that can be known to exist or that it is the only true reality. in other words, it postulates that our own mind is the only thing whose existence can be absolutely certain and that everything else, including the external world and other minds, can only be the product of one's own consciousness. This view often leads to skepticism about the outside world and questions the possibility of truly understanding or connecting with others. Solipsism presents a radical form of subjectivity calling into question the nature of reality and measurement. in which we can know anything beyond our own thoughts and perceptions
Materialist, reductionist, relativist, psychologist. Great for young drug intoxicated self centered hedonistic minds - not so much for someone that has outlived this to find peace in the real - understandable anyway.
@@marciom909 i'm with you on this. It's just a youthful idea for rebellious period, it mostly gets stupid as well and works as a justifier of hedonistic lifestyle, but we still can appreciate such fun thought games) Music is still a banger though.
What I like about this subject is how clear and right it becomes once you discover The Kybalion and The Hermetism. After all, this philosophy is right, but with one crucial condition: Whose consciousness is this? No one else than The All. The Architect and Engineering Mind/Heart behind the unfathomably beautiful natural intelligence that is the whole Universe(s).
One of the consistently centering and true processes for me, has been the study of cruelty, war and destruction. That is, most definitely real. Our psche is flawed in some animalistic way.
In the perplexing labyrinth of my own mind, reality takes on a shape-shifting quality, a dance between disassociation, derealization, and the relentless heartbeat of anxiety. It's as if the very fabric of existence trembles, and the world outside the fishbowl becomes a distant, faint impression-colors without detail, a surreal painting of uncertainty. In this ethereal realm, the concept of reality feels like a fragile construct, subject to the whims of disconnection. Hands that may not feel like my own, a world seen through a distorted lens-each moment carries the weight of both detachment and disarray. The echoes of trauma, like silent screams, River Barat in the spaces where my perception blurs and fragments. Yet, within this intricate chaos, I find a paradoxical truth. The self-defined nature of reality becomes both a challenge and a source of empowerment. It's an ongoing negotiation with the unpredictable, a dance with the shadows that anxiety casts. Progression and momentum, though elusive, emerge as beacons of resilience in the disorienting sea of dissociation. Navigating this unpredictable voyage requires not only an acknowledgment of the chaos but also an acceptance of the interconnectedness of the biological and the ethereal, the positronic and the psychological. In the networking of existence, there's a shared vulnerability, a common ground where disassociation meets connection. Survival, then, becomes an art-an art of retaining progression, finding momentum even in the midst of disarray. As anxiety's whispers attempt to sabotage, the key lies in embracing the uncertain with a resilient spirit. The threads of networking, whether biological or positronic, offer a lifeline-a shared pulse that reminds me I am not alone in this complex dance of reality.

The art on this album cover is incredible, the music is really cool too. Lire la définition du solipsisme en écoutant cette musique donne vraiment un mood unique.
The director's version of Kingdom of Heaven is surely one of my favourite movies. Thinking of Norton's, Green's and Bloom's acting gives me goosebumps. Damn, such a cool movie.
Bruh, out of nowhere, I keep getting recommended the most underground, banger songs. At this point, I don't want mainstream music if this keeps happening bc it's awesome.
I thought the algorithm was suggesting another Dungeon Synth album, but I'm not disappointed. I love the album art. I like the designs at the Etsy store too-especially the Animus design. I really hope this kind of typographic/symbolic graphic design is coming back, I feel like the world could use it right now.
Thanks to TH-cam for giving me this awesome playlist. Chilly and funky, a bit melancholic, trippy. Pretty unusual music. I've never heard this kind of music before. And I like it. You're the best, Oblique Occasions.
Solipsism, the belief that the only real reality is the direct experience I have of the world. And everyone else whose stream of consciousness I cannot access is an illusion
Solipsism is death, an ultimate mental virus. Anybody who cannot comprehend just how completely broken it is as a concept and consequentially on an individual is lost.
I found this by recommendation, and am so glad this album came my way. I have so much to express, I can visualize entire universes vibing out and listening here. Absolutely awesome listen and highly recommend to anyone feeling the same way 🎵🎶❤️🎶🎵
*"Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that."*
I saw the sick tumbnail and thought this was a video about some philosophical concept. And here I am 9 minutes in, already a fan and a subscriber. Cant wait to hear more of your work
Rene Descartes writing “cogito ergo sum” leading to people arguing about Baldwin IV in the comment section of a TH-cam video of an obscure instrumental dance record four hundred years later is my favorite example of the Butterfly Effect.
"What cruel irony it is that we can choose to control our thoughts but not our feelings." Something about this one sentence is so chilling. Like just one of those moments where you need to sit down and think. It really does make me consider the fact that we are in control of our conscious mind, but our body can still act beyond our whims, despite it being... us.
Finally! this Album cover is absolute fire, and the Music is too, and actually worthy of such an awesome packaging. So many boring instrumental synthwave albums that were thrown together in a week have album covers that go crazy hard for no reason.
TH-cam gave it to me, and I'm thrilled, because that's exactly what I like. Which is strange, because on TH-cam I watch content/music in a fantasy setting and horror games. Thank you for this art!

At the beginning of the music, I felt as solipsistic as ever. The music was really lovely, and the Solipsism concept in the background gave me such a tingling and creepy feeling. ♥🎵
