There is a reality to the world that some people, surprisingly, don't believe in. The postmodernist notion that everything is a social construct has taken hold of many people's minds.
But you can observe the real world and discover how it works. Gravity is something we experience every day. It is real. We do not all hold to the Earth's surface because of a social construct. The physical objects I am surrounded by have physical characteristics that exist independent of any social construct.
Granted, I can be mistaken about how physical reality operates. The complexities of chemistry and nuclear physics have taken many years, decades, even centuries for human minds to develop.
The existence of life forms like ourselves took eons to develop. But it all came from the fundamental nature of reality.
Some of my musings are about things that I am unsure of, things that I am considering now. But my belief in objective reality - that a real world outside my mind that can be discovered and is the same for every conscious mind that exists within it - this one I am sure of.
How could it possibly be otherwise?
