>I’ve never said this. Reality R is a certain way, it got that way somehow by method A, B, C, D, E, F, or G. Based on philosophy alone I can reason that leprechauns come screaming out of my ass when I sleep

Dude, I know you haven't taken philosophy. You don't have to keep telling me.

>but to be sure this actually happens we need actual evidence
