[ExI] Is there a word for the opposite of solipsism?

I have only one example of consciousness so a gross misunderstanding of
what that word means is possible. So perhaps everybody in the world is
conscious EXCEPT for me. When people ask me if I'm conscious I say "yes"
and am trying to tell the truth, but we may mean two very different things
by that word. What I think of as consciousness you might laugh at as being
utterly trivial, what you and everybody else on the planet means by
"consciousness" is something infinitely more magnificent that my mind is
incapable of even glimpsing.
