Do not we live in a bubble .. Illusion of knowledge?
What's this "we" stuff, figment-of-my-imagination?
jk-- I make certain philosophical decisions just because they give context to my actions. If I don't believe other people are real, then my interactions with them are relatively meaningless. I might as well just jerk off on a bus all day, or run naked down Main Street shouting about building the "best wall anyone's ever seen," and when the police come, I can tell them that since they aren't real, I don't care if they hit me with a night stick.
Very convincing

Look I am not an idealist! I think the world dose exist, but it is impossible to perceive it.
