I'd like to meet:
I'm solipsistic. All is projected outward from inside of my mind. Therefore I have already had the immense pleasure/displeasure of meeting every single one of you! I think I could turn and live with animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God. Not one of them kneels to another or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. Not one of them is respectable or unhappy, all over the earth.
