How do you know that you aren't a fiction of my mind?

I know I'm not a fiction of your mind because I'm not that clever.

Reply to A Realist I like it. Solipsism is always good for a joke at least.

Reply to Moliere When you think about it really. In philosophy there are only questions and no answers. As opposed to maths,physics,engineering and logic where there should be a definite answer to every question even if the problem is unanswerable, then answer is that it's unanswerable.
So I think I contradicted my self here, and philosophy does have answers that we cannot answer those question really, that is the answer.

Reply to A Realist And yet we crave the reply of others -- almost like we only believe in ourselves if the other person says something.

Even three months later I would strongly disagree. I say this in case you want to discuss the point.
