I don't believe you. Get over it.

I believe that reality exists and that reason is reliable.

As for your correction, my M-W dictionary gives as one denotation of "conspiracy" the people involved in a plot. I'm working off memory here, but I'll be happy to link it once I'm on my laptop instead of this phone.
yeah sounds good. im no english teacher.

The external world.  For all I know, I'm a disembodied consciousness and all the things I think I see and feel are simply a side effect of that particular state of being.  No one can prove that this isn't the case.

*shrug*  I don't find it necessary to have proof of a thing to believe that it exists.  I do, however, insist on what is called 'the reasonableness of belief', i.e. that belief is justified if such belief is more reasonable than the absence of the belief.  Thus, I believe in the external world but not Bigfoot, just as I believe in extraterrestrial life but not gods.

Life forms elsewhere in the universe. I do not believe we have been contacted or visited.

I believe that your collection efforts are foredoomed to failure.
