I presume you believe that other people have subjective interior mental states i.e. minds. I also imagine you tacitly accept that your senses reveal information about the a world that is objectively external to yourself. You might even believe that round objects are actually round in some meaningful sense. These beliefs are useful and unfalsifiable.
