That doesn't make any sense. You don't seem to understand that even if there is no objective reality outside our own heads... however reality is inside our own heads is still exactly how it is. It makes no sense to say that things aren't how they actually are.

Quote: there aren't objects to which we can attribute anything.

No things-in-themselves, you mean? I'm aware of that possibility but I don't see how it's relevant. See above.

Quote: And even if there were objects how would you know that you had gained knowledge of them?

Indeed we live in phenomenal reality and not noumenal reality. Again, though, I don't see the relevance. It seems only you who is making assumptions, or rather, false inferences.
