Why is that a bar suddenly, if we cannot be sure that anyone other than yourself is conscious?

ok! I think that's a logical flaw, solipsism is a floor.

"I can't be certain about anyone else" does not imply "all non-self consciousness claims are equally uncertain". absence of certainty and the absence of evidence and all that.

your "possibility" word is doing a lot of work there I think. you should add "rocks" to your list as well and you'd be equally correct, but we're evaluating the candidates here

I think you need to expand what your point is: we know solipsism is a thing. Is it meant as a defense for animal cruelty or...?

Sure, but it's also the best we got.
