Step out your front door and look around. Is it not 'obvious' the world is flat? Why question that?
So in the end, what is it which brings you back not believing in it? I don't think there's any reason to believe in solipsism; why shouldn't I just think the external world exists, and trust my senses. Is common sense the dominating factor?
And if it was a product of my imagination then tell me, why the hell would I create The Jeremy Kyle Show!?
