what are some arguments against skepticism/solipsism? i know its worthless to think about but just for fun what are some sound arguments against it?

how about this argument:
if youre an extreme skepticist, how come you value certain stimuli more than others?
example: you would much prefer to sit on the couch and relax than being raped in the ass
if certain stimuli motivates you internally then that implies you grant some validity to that stimuli and thus implying youre not truly a skepticist
>>
It's not really an argument but a clarification that skepticism is subjective and an initiatory step of potentially understanding an observation. It in itself isn't reason or objective. You could be skeptical of something that is 99.99999...% factual while can't bring yourself to believe that it is factual because personal skepticism of said something.

No valuable ones. Skepticism is the realization of freedom from slavery to thought by imposition through trickery.
Skeptics accept convention, temperament, ... so your critique makes no sense.

Why do I imagine all these things I dislike?
