Russell, Now that is true solipsism. A rather strange view of two projectors, each viewing what it projects and taking that as reality. But in that model each observer is a reflection of the projection of the other. So how do they confirm similarity since for two things to be similar they must be independent, and each here is just a refection of a projection of the other?
O, now I get it. Only the reflection of the projection by Russell is really real! His projection is just nice enough to project imaginary other observers as being similar to himself? Somehow I think this model leads to consistency problems. At least it seems awfully lonely....
