There are however a lot of peer reviewed studies on 'believing in yourself' or 'self confidence' as our clinical psychologist friends would call it. Of course there is still an ongoing replication crisis in the whole field of psychology but that's a story for another time (read: your philosophy of science class).

I've never met an atheist who thought they could bootstrap their way out of solipsism.

Regardless, Descartes solved this almost 400 years ago.

That's kinda nice. Ego dissolution by science. Nihilism is more important than solipsism.

Then again, the brain we use to intrepet the results is basically a blackbox.

There is a great account on mastodon called “capybara every hour” in which every hour they post an image of capybara(s). Highly recommended.
