While I agree there is no such thing as objective morality - in some places it is moral to stone a woman to death for wearing a bikini in public, while other places, not so much - there IS objective Ethics. If You ask ANYONE if it is okay to do any of the following things not to do if it is okay to do them to Them, to a One, They will say, "NO!"
The three Laws of Ethics (Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do):
Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther
Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone
Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)
Any who would say "yes" are consenting and leaving the question unanswered.
As for solipsism... Rather pathetic a view, I would say. If all there is is Me, where's the point? All My work is done for Others, because I care, and to think that I created this mess in My single Self... Egads!
Were somehow I to discover solipsism is true, I would just end it all. This hell is not worth living for in that case.
unless they are attacking (or making credible threats against) your person or family member or property
Self defense is Ethicsl, And I have offered a vid on that:

i just watched this again and it just reminded me how amazing your videos are
always focused, practical, to the point
🙏
it can be a bit tricky to know exactly where the line is between mere suspicion and actionable threat
True, but then, that is a problem We will always have.
unless that item is either unclaimed or abandoned or non-owned, like a wild animal
unless that person or organization is plotting against you, your family, or your property
Preemption and artifice 🥓
Then there should be Ethical consequences. "Plotting," though, is not the offence. The behavior We choose is what is of issues. If unEthical follow-through on the plot occurs, making some or all of it happen, then yeah. Ethical consequences.
i'm pretty sure that if we hear to people plotting to murder us in our sleep
we should do something about it
sooner rather than later
True, but that does not mean We kill Them. Ethical, always.
dis-arm and de-feet
it made perfect sense to me the first time i heard about it
and i'm still here
exploring myself
It makes no sense to Me and never has. If true, I sure as hell would not be creating the mess I see, and if I am not creating anything but merely subject to it all, fuck it. I want out.
well, there you go
those are the only two options
either the "external world" is simply a manifestation of your own subconscious inner conflict
or
you are a leaf on the wind that naively believes it can decide when and where to fall
What?!? LOL! I don't think either of those is valid. More like a bird that can be blown off course by winds too strong. Most of the time the bird will land where it chooses.
i guess the bird is not guided by desires to eat and reproduce and avoid freezing to death
it just does whatever it wants
Not sure I grasp the point.
the point here is that it is not impossible to imagine that every person is a facet of your own mind
like characters in your dreams are
