==Failure of solipsism==

Solipsism fails on the unavoidable concrete experience of the [[reality]] of other minds through the evidence of social interactions, parents, family members and community, the phenomena of [[language]] and [[communication]], unexpected occurrences and accident, conflict, [[argument]]s, unavoidable [[environment]]al and social irritations, involuntary distractions, differing states of physical [[health]], sensory responses not intended or expected, exposure to surprising new ideas, discovery of limitations of understanding, [[laws of logic]], correction of previously unnoticed [[error]]s in [[reason]]ing, discovery of things previously inconceivable but [[Truth|true]] and [[fact]]s previously unknown to oneself, episodes of dreamless [[sleep]] and unconsciousness followed by conscious awareness, and the inescapable conclusion finally that one's own mind is not self-subsistent or self-caused but must have had an unremembered beginning within a universe that one did not create or generate or maintain and has [[Physics|physical laws]] that cannot be fundamentally altered according to one's will. ''Ergo''''':''' the [[Externality|objective existence]] of the orderly [[universe]] as we [[Senses|perceive]] it can be conclusively [[Proof|proven]], since we can prove that the evidence given by our senses is not an illusion.
