Before I state my question, please forgive my rudimentary knowledge of this subject and my crude method of reasoning-
Given the implications of solipsism, couldn't someone who truly holds this view be perceived by others as quite dangerous? If they behave according to the established code of morals and ethics, haven't they merely decided to, in a sense, "play along"? Can morals and ethics apply in any way in this perspective?

Gun I am not speaking of psychopaths, schizophrenics, sociopaths, I am speaking of a solopsist.
JK your first part sounds like the description of epistemology alone, experiment or no experiment. There are people who call themselves solipsists; they are not actively engaging in epistemological experimentation.
Your second part doesn't answer the question. Of course they would believe they are the source of these codes, what I ask is this realization potentially dangerous?
Soph, I am not interested in whether or not it is stupid.
