Solipsism
"Solipsism is first recorded with the Greek presocratic sophist Gorgias (c. 483-375 BC) who is quoted by the Roman sceptic Sextus Empiricus as having stated:
1. Nothing exists
2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it, and
3. Even if something could be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others
Epistemological solipsism is generally identified with statements 2 and 3 from Gorgias; metaphysical solipsism believes all three."

"The Irish idealist philosopher George Berkeley argued that physical objects do not exist independent of the mind. An item truly exists only so long as it is observed; otherwise, it is not only meaningless, but simply nonexistent."
Solipsism intrigues me to the point that I am now deciding whether or not I agree with its views and ideals.
Looks good to me.
