Quote:To simply assert X,Y or Z is stupid or wrong,without explaining why and presenting evidence is an argument from personal incredulity,a logical fallacy.Hmm, if I dismissed the point, I don't need to produce evidence to support me not believing in it. The believer has to present evidence, which others will take into account, so I see no reason for believing in an idea with no fortification or strength.
Bertrand Russell once received a letter from a solipsist stating how fantastic it is; she was expressing her sheer incredulity at why others are not solipsists just like her.
You can't really escape this thing we call 'reality'. Even the most devoted and adamant solipsist.
