So, for quite some time I've been wondering, do these to relate to one another? If one is an extreme narcissist, do they slowly (or quickly) become solipsistic as well, and vice versa? Can one be solipsistic without being narcissistic? Is there any difference between being a full-blown narcissist and just having a huge ego, or between being a solipsist and thinking the world revolves around you? Can skepticism turn into solipsism?
Also, while not related in any way to the rest of the post, where the hell did the phrase "pie in the sky" come from? Is it just a bastardized version of "eye in the sky", or is it unrelated? Which came first, for that matter, and why do people seem to confuse one for the other? Who even thought it'd be a good idea to make that a phrase?
The answer to these questions, along with the rest of your study questions and the chapter 5 homework, will be due on Monday. Late work will not be accepted.
