Maybe the misunderstanding was earlier then. What do you mean by "evidence"? I assumed empirical evidence from that.

Yes

Through your senses

So how do you know the sun exists?

Because I perceive it

Do you know it exists outside of your mind?

Yes, if I have knowledge of it before its out of my focus

You cant know of something you dont perceive or hear/read about

So would you consider the sun in the matrix as existing outside of your mind?

Which still has to be perceived

I dont remember the Matrix

I watched it a long time ago

For a dude who lives in a computer program.

We dont live in a computer program

How do you know that?

“Maybe you’re wrong” is an accusation that must be supported by specific evidence. It cannot be uttered without context, grounds, or basis, i.e., arbitrarily.

Onus of proof is on you.

We have no evidence of it

I cant be asked to prove a negative

Empericism is commie propaganda, bruh.

It is possible, the skeptic argument declares, for man to be in error; therefore, it is possible that every individual is in error on every question. This argument is a non sequitur; it is an equivocation on the term “possible.”

>Because we arent omniscient we cant know anything

There would be no way to know either way.

I don't think there would be any significant difference anyway.

You are making the positive claim that existence exists outside of our mind. The onus of proof is on you.

Because existence has to be focused on

Awareness is not a passive but active state, when you close your eyes does everything vanish metaphysically

Knowledge is what makes possible the discovery of fallibility.

Would something you perceive in a dream exist as much as something you perceive while awake?

No, because it does not consist with reality

How do you know you are awake?

Through introspection and checking the facts of reality

Would you be able to know when you are dreaming?

Non contradictory identification

I dont dream much if I do I dont remember it

Some acid wouldn't be a bad idea for you.

Open the doors of perception, bruh.

There's a difference between someone on drugs and someone off drugs

Life is a trip, bruh. Don't forget to bring a towel.

@halfthink You should pick up Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology if you have already read the novels

I haven't read the novels, only a bunch of excerpts from her philosophical writting.
