I remember philosophy in college and we touched on Solipsism. Sometimes Doc echoes this philosophical position, though he would no doubt want to advise us to leap over such things as positionalities. But, just this little snippet from Wikipedia is worth reminding ourselves...perhaps: Solipsism (Listeni/ˈsɒlɨpsɪzəm/; from Latin solus, meaning alone, and ipse, meaning self)[1] is the philosophical idea that only ones own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside ones own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist.
