You're trying to make an argument for solipsism, and against science. If you truly believed this, then you'd have no problem walking in front of an oncoming truck, as it may as well not be "real," but you and I know that's not true. Instead, we can know the real world through testing and confirming material reality and how it works through the advancement of science.

  1. No, I don't. I'd actually call myself a primitive realist.
  2. Science and solipsism is not a dichotomy.

Believed what? At what point in our conversation did I state my beliefs?

Instead, we can know the real world through testing and confirming material reality

Maybe stop spawning unnecessary entities? Here you say there's real world and then there's material reality. Wtf are those and what's the difference between them? Are there other worlds? Are there other realities? Just stop for a second and try to comprehend what you're writing.

It doesn't really matter what you call yourself, your fundamental argument is in trying to play word games with abstracts, rather than just going with what you and I both know I'm talking about. I'm fairly certain you're a troll, though.

Are you accusing me of not reading your mind? Is it my problem you can't write coherent sentences? Now that's trolling.
