If reality is created by our brains, does this mean we are trapped alone inside our own minds?

Yes.
You cannot objectively demonstrate that the reality experienced by another individual is the same as yours. A common thought experiment along these lines is how we perceive color.
However, stubbornly adhering with this philosophy will not get you far in the pursuit of truth, so we have to agree that the different realities we all experience agree to some extent.

Do you manifest yourself in my mind or do I exist in yours?
Only one of these prepositions is true.

What if we differentiate between the 'reality' that our minds experience and the reality that is just reality?
We would be trapped alone inside our own experience, since the outer world is just a representation of the outer world reproduced in our inner world from inaccurate sensory information.

Your brain is an object in your reality. What creates your reality? That is a question with no answer for you

I guess this is what we call subjectivity
>and the reality that is just reality?
and that is what we try to call objectivity

There is no way to prove a consciousness needs a substrate more fundamental than itself. You are trapped in your inner universe with no way to prove whether the perceived outer world is anything other than another part of your inner universe.

You are not alone but a product of the universe having the accumulated experience of the birth of existence until the current moment.

How long and complex the physical process that brought my existence about has no bearing on whether I am alone or not.

Is consciousness a single entity or an accumulation of experiences?
How you define self maybe limiting the potential to answering your question.

I guess, but there is no "we" or "you" either, so in the end it doesn't matter.

So there's the "you" you can feel, and there's a consistent actor such as yourself, yet you're convinced you don't exist?

Quoted By:

>>11909464
Cells react to stimuli and replicate themselves, they have senses, they have what we might call a "locus of ego", when if it is infinitesimally simple when compared with ours. This is as true for a neuron as it is for a red blood cell. The "ego" we experience is the result of the combined collective experiences of our cells, every one of them that is connected to the other via nerves.
