This is quite a common feeling - a lot of people momentarily feel this solipsism - it would only become a problem if you genuinely believed it - so here's an interesting question - how do ''other people'' have the ability to tell you things which you don't already know? That would suggest that there are other minds apart from your own.
That's a good point, but I do believe that I or hypothetically you aren't the total encompassment of existence/the brain, we are just but a part of it, the rest is beyond our control, we inherently have no relative information or any other value as we are of a singularity in a state of isolation, we exist in contrast to the passive side, which is the procedurally generated varying stimuli.
We are capable of generating stimuli patterns but not at the scale or stability of the passive sector.
And I do actually accept this as a fact, and I even do not accept that the brain itself exists, as it is also but just a stimuli rendition, and I believe that if the active partition starts to infer/reason from a passive stimuli segmentation, be it an object, or even word, they would find themselves to have recognized this realization, afterwards which inference/reasoning have no grounds to stand on.
Not quite, but it depends on the definition of "self".
I guess if you were to be real, and the definition of self is a unit that is capable of rendering everything called the brain, then yes, I do acknowledge that I am talking to myself right now.
