If I claim that the universe isn't an illusion and we're not in a computer simulation. The burden of proof is not on me. If you claim the universe is an illusion, it's on you.
If you claim to have an imaginary friend who created everything and controls everything.... then the burden of proof is on you. If I claim that such a thing is improbable then that stands to reason to be correct by default until you provide evidence to the contrary. Why? Because of the principle of parsimony. It's the same reason that if you claimed Elvis was still alive and I said "No he isn't" the burden of proof wouldn't be on me but it would be on you. Because you're making a ridiculously unparsimonious suggestion.
It's clearly you who doesn't understand how it works.
Nah, you're just dumb and don't understand the burden of proof.
LOL. I’m loving the audio accompaniment, Hamz. British accents are super awesome. 😎
Lol. Glad you're enjoying.
And, as a bonus. When people claim that I'm being super emotional or screaming or whatever (nudge nudge wink wink hehe) and I claim that I'm actually sitting here calm as fuck all deadpan. If you hear my voice from now on you may realize I'm being completely serious about that lol. I can say all this really emotional stuff and be like AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING DEADBEAT PUSSY FOR BRAINS NINCOMFUCKER (I guess a "nincomfucker" is half nincompoop half fucker?) or whatever.... and I don't really feel anything much.

A pigeon walks into a chess game......
And squirts poop all over the board. And it totally puts me off my breakfast (I eat while I play (while I wank... but that's another topic)).
