Solipsism is either rude or neurotic, or both at the same time, but it is so only in relation to those salient versions of the self that come with social and physical reality. It is not, however, meant as a part of a theory of everything, which at best would only be an inverted solipsism, that is the need to comprehensively explain an accepted version of the world. It is more akin to a phenomenological reduction than a kind of fact. It is a matter of the place from which all assumptions are not undone but seen in a different light, as if they had no implications whatsoever. What is suspended are not metaphysical presumptions but the logical mechanism that links them together.
