One thing I can't quite reconcile though with that pov, is something really simple. In the extreme case, if we percieve no external "objective" reality and further, just say it doesn't exist full stop, than why act with morality.
Acting with morality affects you even if there is nothing but subjective experience and nobody else. One characteristic of the mind is that the defilements are inherently "suffering" based, so if you have evil thoughts then you'll experience a type of nightmarish reality. A dream in which you act immorally and kill people is still a bad dream, even if nobody was "objectively" harmed.
You could look at two different hypothetical delusional people in a mental hospital, who don't believe others exist, but one of them is gentle and friendly (eg has morality) and one is violent and demented (no morality), its clear that one would suffer much more than the other. So its good for its own sake.
