There is an existential choice between taking the world as absurd or as intelligibly ordered. Committing to the second removes solipsism from consideration. Solipsism is not compatible with the Principle of Non-Contradiction (PNC). If the PNC is proscriptive (a requirement for the world's intelligibility) then it represents something absolute that is external to the mind of any particular observer.
