Competitive individualism edit
This section seems more like a biased criticism of individualism than a description of the position. Is there a way to improve it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.72.169.203 (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Isnt Individualism anti-racism? edit
The modern anti-racism movement seems very much what individualism is about. This articls should have a link to antiracism. 165.225.222.157 (talk) 17:54, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
You would think so, but for some reason the anti-racist movement largely backs collectivism and decries individualism as a selfish, racist, white-supremacist philosophy. But logically speaking you are correct: while anti-racists decry individualism because they purport that it creates a society where people are judged on their race, what they are really decrying is the racist outcome which is, by definition, collectivist. Most of them cannot come up with a definition of individualism that differs from "people who only care about themselves and do not think #BlackLivesMatter," so tread with caution. If you ask me we have at the absolute least about 5 years before mainstream literature catches up with this discrepancy. But hopefully faster! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.126.113 (talk) 04:59, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Not necesaryly, I would like to think I am most certainly against racism, and I am a staunch individualist, but it seems to me the modern anti racism movement abandons many reasonable values, maybe they do not hold nigh absolute free speech, but they barely even hold basic free speech, slurs are illegal, and condemnation of such is a crime to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.241.175.158 (talk) 06:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
Solipsism: irrefutable and indefensible edit
The article currently reads:
- Solipsism is the only epistemological position that, by its own postulate, is both irrefutable and yet indefensible in the same manner.
I have no idea what this means, though it sounds like something a philosopher would say. Can we get a citation? The "solipsism" article uses neither of these terms (irrefutable, indefensible). AdamChrisR (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 01:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
Japan/South Korea are individualist? edit
Aren't they considered collectivist cultures? Headows of Meaven (talk) 21:24, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
As outlined above the criticism section edit
I am a staunch individualist, but the lack of depth within the criticism section concerns me massively, as a "vital", should this not have more attention paid into it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.241.175.158 (talk) 06:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
