Solipsism, a philosophical trend that recognizes only the existence of one's own “I”. It is defined as an extreme state of selfishness and egocentrism. “Solipsism can only succeed in a madhouse” Schopenhauer.

Look at the city around you, at our entire civilization in general. Is there one? It was clearly not created by you personally, and it is not a creation of your consciousness, it is there. And it was clearly created by intelligent beings who are aware of what they are doing.

Then where do you exist if not in a world created by others like you? Or is your existence illusory? That is, you do not exist in reality, and you are therefore the creation of someone's mind. Whose one? And anyone living in this world.
