You still have to empirically demonstrate that other observers exist, otherwise you're rooted in something other than empiricism.

So, if other observers do not exist (even though you can see, smell or hear them), everything is simply a figment of your imagination and the point is moot -- the universe is whatever YOU think it is (which has greater theological implications than the theory of evolution even approaches).

Basically, you either have to accept the reality of other observers, or conclude that reality is simply a figment of your imagination and that your time might be better spent doing something other than conjuring such a complicated fantasy.

Note that the Creationism-PostModernDeconstructionism philosophy seems to imply operational solipsism (not to mention solecism.)

This decision cannot be made on an empircal basis, wouldn't you agree?

I see, smell and hear people in my dreams...Junior, are people in my dreams real?
