Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

no it's not... I didn't say solipsism is definitely possible because the alternatives are unreasonable... I said the possibility of solipsism is the most reasonable answer because the alternatives are unreasonable. and as I said, agnosticism on this view implies nihilism which is self refuting thus unreasonable.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
