And yet, you don't appear to be able to understand my rather simple 
philosophical point of view. To me, that counts as wilful blindness on 
your part.

You are free to count anything whatever you like.  That has nothing to

In other words, you have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by the 
empirical science to rely on your physical senses alone in determining 
the truth and reality. You can not imagine the possibility that what you 
see, hear, touch, smell, and taste could all be an elaborate scheme to 
make you believe the physical world is real. You look just like a 
character in <The Matrix>.

No brainwashing is necessary.  no other tool are available.

Science itself is based on a set of beliefs. For you to believe what 
science believes, how can it not be indoctrination or brainwashing?

That's just an example to show what exactly you have become by believing 
in science.

Not really. How do you prove the physical world is real? You can't. You 
can only believe that it is real.

I can perform repetitious actions and predict the results.  That is
more than your philosophy can do.

I interact with the world and it really doesn't care whether I believe
in any particular part of it or not.  I can believe I can flap my
wings and fly but I had better not test that belief from the top of a
tall building.

You have not answered my question. You are using the laws of the 
physical world to prove the physical world is real. You ignore the fact 
the all physical laws are based on the assumption that the physical 
world is real.

At some point it is necessary to make certain assumptions.  For
example, it is possible the entire universe complete with history,
occupants and the necessary memories were all created 10 seconds ago
and there is no possible way to prove this did or did not happen.
Since it would be useless to speculate on whether that is true or not
it obviously leaves only one course of action - to proceed as if it
was not so created  Of course, it really doesn't matter does it?

Likewise a working hypothesis that the physical world is real is the
only reasonable course of action.  To do otherwise leaves nowhere to
go.

So you admit you have no choice but to believe what your physical senses 
want you to believe. You have no other means to verify such belief. As 
long as your physical senses are consistent, even when they are lying, 
you would still believe it's the truth.

Belief really doesn't enter into it.  I can verify the existence of
the physical world at any time.  By repeatable experimentation upon
any part of it, and obtaining the expected results.

As I said, you have confidence in what your physical senses tell you.

Just want to show why physical science is also based on belief.

Nope.  Trial and error applied logically.

Belief is entirely irrelevant.

Once again, you forgot every trial and error all started with the 
assumption that the universe is real. When it's an assumption you can't 
really verify, then it is a belief.

Apparently you think all of reality is based upon belief.  I am
curious.  If there is something that no one knows about - an entirely
new thing such as a plant or animal or cave - does this thing exist or
not exist?  Remember, if no one knows about it then no one can have
any kind of a belief about it.

If I believe something does not exist does that make it not exist?
Does gravity exist because I believe it does?   If I believe it does
not can I safely jump off a building with no result?

If such a jump kills me and thus ends my existence what does that
mean?   If reality is only a belief and I don't believe in what kills
me?

If something does not exist, then you or anyone else would not have 
mentioned it. The fact you are now mentioning it, its existence has 
become uncertain. So there is no way to answer your question until I can 
verify its existence.

> If I believe something does not exist does that make it not exist?

If something does not exist, you would not need to disbelieve its 
existence in the first place. It would never be part of your consciousness.

> Does gravity exist because I believe it does?   If I believe it does
> not can I safely jump off a building with no result?

Gravity has already been confirmed by your own physical senses. 
Believing its non-existence will not change that. In other word, your 
physical senses already believed its existence. You would not be able to 
change their belief.

>

It would be your own wishful thinking that kills you. When you jump off 
a building, you are asking the physical world to confirm that the belief 
of your physical senses is true. The physical world honoured your 
request, so you would not have the chance to disbelieve its existence. 
The Matrix does not take insubordination lightly.

Nonsense.  People talk about things that don't exist frequently.  The
Tooth Fairy, gods, all sorts of literary fiction.  The list is large.

It can be a part of my consciousness and still not exist.

Does it's existence depend on some belief of mine?  Without that
belief would it still exist?

They are talking about things they know they don't exist. You are 
talking about a thing that exists but no one knows. You neglected 
yourself being the one who actually knows. The fact you know it exists 
has ensured its existence. For me, I have to check to find out whether 
you are lying or not. So its existence is uncertain.

The existence of gravity depends on what your consciousness truly tells 
you. It's not something that you can change with your mind.

No, I don't think so. The physical world is an illusion, but it does not 
mean we can ignore it altogether. We only need to be aware that it's not 
real, so we will not be fooled to lose our focus in life.
