But *whose* ideas?  If they are just your ideas, you're back at solispism.
If you want to assert that *other* people also have ideas, you have to
justify your belief in the existence of other people.  And the only evidence
we have for that belief is from our sensory impressions -- impressions we
must interpret as being of the world *before* we can interpret some of them
as being from "other" people.
