I'm really not sure what this page is supposed to be. I think it's a self demonstrating philosophy lesson, but that raises the question of why it's on this wiki. I'm not really sure what to do with this page.

It's not a trope. It's not a work. It never went through YKTTW. It's not a useful note written to support a work or a trope. It's on one index which was created at the same time as the article and I'm not 100% sure about the index either. I think this article is is not within the wiki's scope. I put it on the Cut List and the cut was rejected. I'd suggest others do their own analysis, find their own wording and try again.

(Alternatively, someone could make a case for it being in scope — I just don't see how.)

Zero usage. Not in our remit, I guess.

^It was only created on the 26th. The Wiki Magic hasn't had time to work with this one yet.

We could retool it to be about the use of solipsism in fiction.

Off the top of my head, Flatland has an example, where the sole inhabitant of Pointland is incapable of conceiving that anything besides himself exists. If you talk to him, he thinks that your words are just his own thoughts.

I didn't write any of that.

So, as I see it, we can put this on Useful Notes or make it a trope about solipsism in media. Currently, this page serves no purpose.

Cut this thing. It's got nothing to do with tropes, or fiction as it stands, and it's nigh unreadable.
