I exist.

Nothing precludes existence (see: I exist).
Ergo, nothing precludes the existence of other 'somethings'.
Considering I have no reason to believe that my existence is in any way unique, I have no reason to deny the existence of things aside from myself.
You're unironically the only one here with literally nothing to show for their position. No wonder you have to pretend that yours is the default.Considering I have no reason to believe that my existence is in any way unique, I have no reason to deny the existence of things aside from myself.
This is incorrect not to mention that it doesn't follow. There is every reason to doubt the senses especially when you see how they are easily to manipulate.
Even more so when you realize that color and sound don't exist. They're just figments of the mind. Knowing that saying your senses are a foundation for external reality is circular putting you back in the trilemma, so again you have nothing.
When you can point out where I even mentioned the senses, I'll concede the argument.
