I'm curious about lots of things.

Can I have your thoughts on 'Solipsism'?

"Solipsism - the view that nothing can be known except one's own self and the contents of its consciousness."


You can't if you are a solipsist. Reminds me of the story of Christine Ladd-Franklin who wrote to Bertrand Russell that she was a solipsist and could not understand why everyone was not a solipsist.

. . . and not to conflate these with vulgar uses.


I heartily agree. Vulgar uses should be kept behind closed doors, and not paraded in public.
