Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sounds like an argument to make yourself feel superior to all groups without adding anything concrete to the conversation to me.
You seem to confuse subjectivity of perception with the objectivity of external facts. While our senses interpret the world, objective facts remain true independent of individual perception. For example, gravity exists whether or not one perceives or "believes" in it.
You only know that gravity exists through your subjective perception.
Incorrect. Gravity is a measurable force. If you never did any experiments to derive the falling speed of an object due to Earth's gravitational pull, then I feel sorry for your poor education, but you're more than welcome to rigorously prove that our planet's gravitational constant is 9.8m/s^2.
Unless your argument is that objectivity cannot exist because everything you experience is through a subjective lens, at which point I'd remind you that solipsism is kinda the dead-end of philosophical discussion.
Your second paragraph was exactly my point. Nothing you know empirically is objective knowledge.
