Oh, and no, you've never once shown that the senses are so suspect as to warrant considering everything they produce to be illusory - that's just your religious belief system.
Absent light, for example, having silly little balls of jelly to perceive that light, focus it, and transmit the resulting picture to the brain would be very difficult to explain.
Have you bothered EVER to address ANY of these problems? No, of course you haven't. You write a declarative sentence and then strut about with your chest puffed out as if you've done the hard work already. It's a clownshow FW, and you're the clown.
And then we have:

Assuming we do have a real world beyond our perception.
We have evidence that FW's neural pathways have formed and the relative strengths of those pathways are a result of that external reality. It's not FW's fault that his electrons and ions are not flowing along the generally accepted neural pathways.
So I see no reason not to be nice to FW. His neural pathways are making him be like he is.
