Solipsism
Solipsism ( i / ˈ s ɒ l ɨ p s ɪ z əm / ; from Latin solus , meaning "alone", and ipse , meaning "self") is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism 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.Ignosticism
Ignosticism or igtheism is the theological position that every other theological position (including agnosticism and atheism ) assumes too much about the concept of God and many other theological concepts. It can be defined as encompassing two related views about the existence of God : The view that a coherent definition of God must be presented before the question of the existence of God can be meaningfully discussed.Molyneux's Problem
Molyneux's problem is a thought experiment in philosophy concerning immediate recovery from blindness .

Cornell students obviously have too much time on their hands. (And very soon I’ll be able to do something about that…) Back when I was a wee grad student, one of the jokes circulating the internet, and eventually stuck to the wall of the grad ‘office’ concerned the putative causes of death of various philosophers.
