Very familiar, I wonder how few of us there are who take this type of approach.

I think there's a chunk of related views out there but many of them would be uncomfortable with my "treat as true" or your "test other views against them". Most people ( outside the very self-selecting grouop on SMP) need a stronger grip on something than what either of us start from.

Mine are a bit different and I don't treat them as true but test any other view against them. Unless some other view can actually be differentiated from 'mine' then I assume its the same.
I call 'mine' humble skeptical realism. That is that:
1) something that seems like me currently exists
2) a real world exists that I can interact with
3) I am a non-special part of this real world
So far, everything that I can understand about the world seems at least as understandable under this view than under any other.

An expansion on this process and what you mean my 'same' would be interesting and helpful,
