Consider dreams for example. They're entirely a product of our minds, and likewise dreams are largely inconsistent and can be manipulated upon realization of the dream. If the solipsist realizes his solipsism, why can he not modify the universe?

Can any solipsists defend this?

hey Neo did it in the Matrix

Well, there's the possibility that the only things that exist are your mind and the generator of perfectly logical illusions. I guess I agree that existence being ONLY your mind is impossible.
