If it's "concrete" I assume you mean it is definite. Not subject to being disproved.

What's the concensus here? Is this something we should hold sceptics to, or not let it worry us?

I don't know what you mean. Sceptics don't tend to talk much abt solipsism because they're all about evidence.

I call solipsism my "leap of faith". I cannot disprove it, yet I have deny it in order to live well.

This is the position all rational people are in once they've considered it. Sokal & Bricmont put it well.

How do you know it is all? Or is this a no true Scotsman thing?

Yes, it is. I am considering ppl rational if they recognise that they can't disprove this but its not useful to assume it is true.

Yes, but it doesn't literally apply here. I am simply saying it is rational to accept the truth of this but continue living anyway.

You can disagree and say either that you can prove the world exists (you'd be wrong) or that its rational not to live (OK, why?)
