\*\* How much do you tip the grocery delivery guy?

Overcoming Solipsism\*\*

I gave him money

so

Even if he’s a hallucination, part of the phaneron, I have less of it

so

that hurts me, even if only in a small way

so

I can feel the pain

so

this is a real effect

but

I can make it go away if I retrieve my money, which should be easy if he does not exist

but

the money is not here. It is gone

and

that can’t be the case if I simply put the money aside

therefore

the delivery boy exists, and I’m not the only thing or being in the universe!
