Had to look up thet word, didm,t help I still can,t understand it..
unless its the last Definition here.. Hummmm ?
Definition of solipsism
: a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own
modifications and that the self is the only existent thing; also : extreme
egocentrism
The term wasn't used in English until the late 19th century, when
solipsism, a composite of the Latin solus ("alone") and ipse ("self"), was
applied purely in the philosophical sense. Recently the word has taken on
another, more general sense, suggesting an ego-driven selfishness or self-
indulgence.
I can't figure it out either, maybe it just means something to the owner.
