"Yup, that's him."

if the 'him' you reference is cicero, then, i have no opinion not knowing the person

if the 'him' you reference is 'me', and if -- like cicero -- you believe me to be a solipsist, i have to ask how you come to this conclusion

nothing i've posted here, in this thread, in this forum, or on the net as a whole, could lead anyone to conclude i...

...believe knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified

or

...believe the self is all i know to exist

or

…confine reality to myself and my experiences

or

...believe nothing exists except my mind and the creations of my mind

or

...believe i alone exist or i alone am conscious

*shrug*

mayhap the best way to proceed: who is the 'him' you're talking 'bout?
