Solipsism seems quite spot on to me, even if the ones who wrote it had a smaller and unrefined view of what the words could entail. Does fear of laziness and self-obsession come under the microscope ?
Have you met every solipsist to make that measured judgement that it requires either of those extremes to be defined as a solipsist. Are you sure that reaction to what you define as a solipsist isn't entirely of your own making ?
