We can't prove anything outside our own minds, because we experience everything through our own minds.But surely common sense is too demanding; we can't help but listen to it, and believe in it. I know it exists because I can see it, touch it, hear it, smell it. It's surely insane to believe in solipsism, or even consider it being accurate. You can't escape reality; even if someone was a solipsist, they would depart from their delusion constantly.
Philosophical solipsism is too often confused with metaphysical solipsism.
