None of us can arrive at -any- position without unproven assumptions...however
Quote: because all your experiences are mental,-this, isn't why. (are they all mental, and what does it mean for them to be mental, btw?)
Quote: and you do not in fact know their ultimate source.-nor is this. (a requirement of complete knowledge is -entirely- unreasonable)
Quote:You do cannot know that your experiences of objects represent objects which exist as more than ideas, because you have no way out of the black box of the self.Wait..what....? What black box......what outside? Those are boundary conditions, and even a reference to a relative location.....stolen concepts. We have some notion as to why that might be difficult (escaping the box) in a material world, /w a material mind - as you've just referenced, as you've just assumed the truth of a material limitation......
Now...for shits and giggles...can you tell me why an idea self made of idea stuff can't get out of an idea box? What's preventing that?
