There are many kinds of solipsist and solipsist-kin.
There are fundamentalists like D.E. Harding
(_On Having No Head_) and Art Kleps (_Millbrook_ and
_The Boo-Hoo Bible_). There are quantum many-worlders
and people who subscribe to the Principle of Plenitude
("everything imaginable exists") like Hans Moravec and
Greg Egan. There are quantum Copenhageners, and sometimes
they overlap with the former. There are reality-tunnellers
like Robert Anton Wilson, and madmen like Philip K. Dick.
There are Madhyamika and Yogacara and Zen Buddhists, and
Advaita Vedantists. There are "ludists" who think the whole
Universe is one great Game. And there are people like the
list admin who think the truth is probably a superposition
of all of these things, just as you can at the same time
be strolling through a sunny field, be a brain in a vat,
and be lying in a dark room with your eyes closed.

Topics to be discussed:

* solipsist churches (the Neo-American Church, the Church of Sunshine)
* solipsism in speculative fiction
* the many-worlds interpretation of QM
* quantum immortality
* the Principle of Plenitude
* dreams and their relation to reality
* "classical" solipsism (Buddhism, Vedanta, etc.)
* synchronicity
* does solipsism change anything?
* the Perennial Philosophy
* Ludism (www.ludism.org) and Lila (the divine play)
* solipsist ethics
* Meinong and Parsons on "nonexistent objects"
* "pure" solipsism (whatever that is)
