We also know that those things are the only ones we know exist for certain, or to be evident is to be irrefutable. Now, what I'm afraid of is that it is equally evident and irrefutable that me and my subjective experiences are THE ONLY THINGS that exist, which seems to me to follow from what was cleared up before.
BTW Lobar you still haven't told me what you were worried about that was similar to temporal solipsism.
It's not evident that only the evident things are the only things that exist. Otherwise I'd be a solipsist, and so would everyone else who has thought about the subject (if that even makes sense!! )
And I'd prefer not to say, for fear of giving you an anxiety spike, as the OCDers call it. It probably won't even affect you, but I'd rather only say when I can see you've come to accept uncertainty. It was very close to your temporal solipsism, except involved more crazy imagination (which made my doctor think I was a little schizo).
