Fucking troll.
I don't think premise 2 is universally the case, either.
Are you a conscious, sapient being, or are you a convincing illusion of same? Or are you a product of my own mind?
Prove it empirically.
If I am a product of your mind, the empirical verification still informs me of that which is useful to describe and perform effectively in the reality of that illusion. If it is illusory, there is no functional difference, as it continues to be the reality I inhabit in that scenario.
You're effectively asking me to prove a negative. I have no empirical reason to suspect that I am an illusion within a solipsistic mind, and should empirically prove that is not the case.
Even if that were true, how would that change the laws of reality as I experience them?
Would what I observed to be in accordance with my reality no longer be true? From whose perspective, mine, or an outside observer's?
Are you telling me you believe absolutes, such as absolute truth exist objectively?
