EvF,
JP's argument is simply meant to bring awareness of basic beliefs. The only thing you really know, for a fact, exists is your own "mind". To move to the next step, that you have a brain, is to assert a belief without evidence.
This site http://www.truthnet.org/Christianity/Apo...cs/Truth2/ helped me comprehend the significance of solipsism as well as looking up TAG, TANG, and the cosmetological argument for god.
As for the philosophical zombies problem...
Philosophical shotguns?
