I agree—thanks for the comment. When writing this post, my goal was to share a reflection on solipsism in a vacuum rather than in context of decision theory. I acknowledge that solipsism doesn’t really tend to drive someone toward caring much about others and such. In that sense, it’s not very productive if someone is altruistically/externally motivated.
I don’t want to give any impression that this is a particularly important decision theoretic question. :)
Mostly my comment was a response to the word “underrated” in the title. We wouldn’t know how it’s rated, because, by it’s nature, it’s going to be less proselytized. A quibble, to be sure, but “underrepresented” is probably more accurate.
