Where do you stand on solipsism? I see it as foundational to virtually everything else (in a first principles kind of way), and yet it is almost universally brushed aside as irrelevant, which I find oddly frustrating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism

And I think that’s the crux of it. Utilitarians will argue that because it impacts nothing, it’s irrelevant. But wouldn’t you *want* to know whether reality exists and isn’t just a figment of our own (and unique) consciousness?
