    Please explain how my comment implied that in any way.

    EDIT: So if I’m understanding you right, you’re saying that you believe (even if only for the sake of argument) that other people are a “part of you” in such a way that you can’t know things about them that they already know about themselves.

    If so, I don’t think that really changes the ethical problem. So what if you believe that you’d only be harming “yourself”? You still can’t prove this, and so acting on that belief to do harm to others without guilt would be unjustified.

      Assuming you’re somehow not intentionally strawmanning my position: I surprisingly wasn’t arguing for harming anything. I was arguing that solipsism isn’t inherently bad.
