Occam's Razor!. If things SEEM to be independant, it is simpler to assume that they really are than that there is some secret mysterious hidden connection manipulating everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your own world is inside your mind, just not everybody can see it!.
reality, life, the world, are all subjective to experience
one thing that is completely real to one person would just seem stupid to another
as an example, someone who is christian and holds christian beliefs in their minds, will (usually) see something different than an athiest person, to whom a christian would seem to be inside their own little world
in short, i don't think you can prove the whole world isn't inside your head, you just knowWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think I've been thinking something like this lately!. Like everyone exists solely because I imagined it and that noone really exists as much as they are like a dream that I made, in this case no matter if you thought I was selfish or ego0tistic or crazy it wouldn't matter because I see you as part of a dream, kind of crazy to imagine but when you think like this there's no way to lose!. It allows me to see people a little differently too, like I made them and like they're people I imagined!.!.!. even you and your question!.!.!. maybe your not even a person but just a question that I happened upon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

because the things we create with our mind aren't real!. e!.g!. if I imagine a piano between me and say a door, and I walk towards the door, I don't trip with the piano, but if a piano really existed there then I would trip with it!.!.!.and besides the world is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big to be imagined by just one human being's brain
