Okay. Material solipsism (as opposed to philosophical or psychological solipsism) is one thing I've given up on for the moment because it can't possibly be resolved and sometimes it gives me a migraine. Which is not to say that I won't pick up the problem at a later date, but it's not on my list of things to think about after like 6 years of pondering it in a daily basis. Just so you know.
As far as being able to neurologically adapt to sense the real, that does apply to the type of solipsism that could be described as a species-wide schizophrenic hallucinatory fugue, but philosophically, where it is to our advantage to sense the non-material concept of real...well, we had that before we were able to make copies. Slowly, as we got to be very good at copies, we lost it. That's the thing that a lot of people think is the problem, and people get uneasy if they think it's a problem.
