Ask HN: Should solipsists be allowed to teach?

2 points by amichail 3y ago

Do you think their teaching performance would be any worse due to their solipsism?

For a reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism As for the question, I have no idea. But why not?

  If they have doubts as to whether their students exist, then maybe they won't care much about whether they learn well?

    Not necessarily; I care about what happens to fictional characters in books that I read or TV that I watch.
