thank you for reaffirming premise 1 of the argument... now, what premises or use of logic are you disagreeing with?

All of it. If we're talking about the very fabric of our perceived reality, we can do nothing more than speculate. We can reach no conclusions.

For one thing, this could all be dream in which your logic seems sound to you but is in fact bat shit crazy. So we would only actually be discussing the dream world, and not "reality". Whatever that means.

Your logic could show there are no minds in the dream world, yet there could be minds in the "real" world.
