We take cause and effect as an objective reality as true based on observed evidence

Good for you. Now all you have to do is prove the inductive principle, so that we can know that you're resting on an objectively true foundation...

Based on many, many lifetimes of observation and testing, we have found certain things that seem to be objectively "true".

A is A. Cause and effect. Water is wet. Fire is hot.

But yes, this all could be a dream . . . Hitler could have been Jesus come back to take his revenge on the Jews . . . Bill Clinton could actually be a Time Lord . . . Hillary Clinton might be Mother Theresa's clone.

This is silly, dude.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

I had a brief lull between projects, and thought I'd try and find an enjoyable, though-provoking conversation on a subject of substance. You have, unfortunately, wasted my time. My mistake, I suppose.

I had really hoped you were capable of going beyond "this could all just be a dream".

My bad. I'm out.
