you are all things...in potential?

ok, now that got a chuckle.

Have you met every solipsist to make that measured judgement that it requires either of those extremes to be defined as a solipsist.

I am addressing the philosophy not those that hold it or personally associate themselves with it. And no, it is not required to meet everyone who holds an idea to make a judgement of that idea in the manner I have. Also that attempted empirical attitude is contradictory to solipsism so while you say it seems "on point" you either do not know what it is or are just being plain irrational and inconsistent in thought.

Are you sure that reaction to what you define as a solipsist isn't entirely of your own making ?

Yes, as I am using a consensus definition. Also, everyone is born a solipsist, everyone has experience of immaturity.

The fundamental axiom of solipsism is that "only I exist", do not pursue that way of thinking it is so silly. The reason I brought it up is because people go "I am the creator I am everything, it's really only me" which sort of causes a fissure in the mind where there is the individual and then their imagination (reality), which of course to them they have created somehow. It's monster philosophy.

The sheer ego of it is remarkable, perpetuating childhood in a repulsive manner.
