i think the existence of written language just proved that the world is my sick solipsist nightmare

I've come to the conclusion that i am a solipsist, in fact, let me put it another way. I think i suffer from solipsism. So "why write anything down?" you (whoever YOU could possibly be) might ask. Excellent question.

I've often thought, quite emphatically, that nobody reads anything. Ever! Writing, and therefore reading, form the cornerstone of my solipsist conundrum. All media contributes to my world view, but the written form is unique, as words are barely more than a series of symbols upon which we (or I) have bestowed a formula of meaning to be interpreted.
