If we demand confirmation, rather than simple appeals to intuition, then putting metaphysical skepticism and skepticism concerning selfless acts on the same level is not by any means out of line. We have no more evidence for one than the other. And I can provide plenty of alternative explanations to physicalism. A lesser argument (which you should accede to, once again to remain consistent) is that one must be a solipsist due to the lack of confirmation regarding the problem of other minds. In the end, one is going to have to make a leap of faith concerning what they believe--demanding confirmation is unreasonable, unless one is going to be a complete skeptic.
