You believe your experience of the external world is not an illusion of your mind.
So your refutation of my plea for proof is to posit we are in the matrix and it could all be a lie. Do you realise that that particular argument is either used by stoners or people who have lost any hope of winning an argument based on actual reality.
So I declare myself the winner of our exchanges based on the fact that you have shifted the nature of reality to make your position reasonable.
I win.
My response is actually to reject your evidentialism for foundationalism.
But if you are desperate to win rather than explore, think, and learn about these issues by having a meaningful discussion, feel free to take the paper crown.
I don't care about a victory so much as stimulating discussion.
