Then you don't believe in a real world?  Those of us who do, believe you can go out and measure stuff and if you keep getting a consistent result you've probably discovered an actual characteristic of the real world.
Some things, like mind, are not measurable.

Quote:  One of the axioms of being a real world believer is you specifically don't believe things pop into existence.
Except subatomic particles.
