Freedom Is Our Birthright

Refuting Solipsism

A man asks about how to refute solipsism when just using experience, not belief. Rupert suggests that first we must acknowledge that our own finite mind is limited. That alone should convince the mind that its knowledge is limited, so how could it make an absolute truth. Then the mind has to account for all the others who don't have an internal experience (according to solipsism) that behave in certain ways.
