I can’t say this did or didn’t happen, but I absolutely had ‘philosophical’ thoughts like this as a kid.
When I was ~10 I asked my mom how we know other people aren’t ‘aliens or something’. She just dismissed me as being silly, and I didn’t know it at the time but in retrospect I was absolutely experiencing and asking her about solipsism.
I didn’t know it was ‘philosophy’ but I think it’s integral to how we experience the world and sentience in general.

What was the subreddit that makes fun of people who never believe that kids ever say anything bizarre or ask unusual questions?
Your comment belongs there.

This is just another variant of “after we turn the lights off, where does the light go?”
This obviously r/thathappened bait.
