But you can't determine that external reality exists, or that you're not a brain in vat, with any certainty either.

Which is exactly why I'm not him.

What?! I was clearly talking about PGJ and then talking about the commonness of trolls. Nowhere did I suggest that you are a troll. You are not a troll.

Well, not here and not currently, no. But he has trolled here plenty of times before. I assume you meant that PGJ wasn't a troll and didn't troll because of the following:
Quote: He genuinely believes the nonsense he posts. Everyone and anyone can determine that. Nobody can figure out why he believes it, or not so far.
Whether he genuinely believes the nonsense he posts or not ... I doubt that the moderators and admins would deem PGJ to not be a troll and it seems that the trolling rule on this website doesn't contain or presuppose anything about it not applying if a troll is sincere in their beliefs.
