Or Monism - Brahman? "Barry's not Brahman (He's a very naughty boy!)" (IMHO Barry is a "perspective realist", not a solipsist. Though he sometimes follows the relativist path so far, one wonders if he might fall of the Cliff Of Incoherent Scepticism. That is to say... the cliff that may or may not be there, depending on your *opinion* at the time. Assuming of course that one can be said to *know* one's opinion at any one time, rather than merely opining about one's opinion...)
