Surely it isn't a crime to be a solipsist. What's socially unacceptable about
the belief that you are the only mind and that "all other minds" are you as
well?
Sounds to me like we should make AS IF this is true because it seems to be a
way to get humans to respect each other more. Solipsism is a useful belief to
maintain. It emphasises how alike we all are which leads to love of self and
selves rather than emphsises our cosmetic differences which leads to war.
