The problem of other minds
The problem of other minds is this: if certain aspects of the official doctrine are correct and minds consist of episodes that are only privately knowable, then we need to rethink our claim to know (with certainty) that other minds exist.
So now, not only do I not know if it is a person (as opposed to an automaton) with whom I attempt to communicate; I cannot be said to understand much of what my interlocutor is saying or perhaps even that it intends to communicate with me in the first place
Which doesn't matter because what they preached was already almost solipsistic.
On seeing one thing, you see all. On perceiving any individual's mind, you are perceiving all Mind.— Huang Po
Seems we are all the three-eyed raven
