Positivism is dead. Has been since the 1930s.

I had to look that one up. One definition I found was:

the form of empiricism that bases all knowledge on perceptual experience (not on intuition or revelation)

No wonder the philosophers dumped it! It was about to put them out of business!

Solipcism lives because I say so. I haven't found anyone else able to refute it, either. :-)

Cheers!
