This entertained the hell out of me.

Granted, it might not make perfect sense if you haven't had a basic background in philosophy, but I think it's worded so that anyone can get it. I thought it was funny, but if the writer is trying to disprove solipism, he failed. The arguement needn't have ended at "aren't you saying that you don't believe in your own solipism?" The interviewee could have countered with "No, there exists a figment of my imagination, whom I call 'Mother', and it does not believe in my solipism."

But that's just splitting hairs. And being nerdy...not to mention being significantly less funny.

Still, it's a cute article.
