I have a Bachelor of Science, and plenty of experience with the scientific method. And I don't really feel like having a debate over epistemology, so I'll give you a challenge instead: Find an empirical study on JSTOR which proves that an external world beyond our senses exists and we are not being misled by Descartes' evil demon. I'm asserting science is built upon axioms, you're asserting science is foundational. So use science to prove that the world beyond our senses exists, and you're not allowed to use any other areas of philosophy! Just science. I expect the paper to be peer reviewed.

it is universally wrong under your philosophy to enforce a subjective paradigm upon someone else

Ah, but I do not believe it is universally wrong to enforce a subjective paradigm. I am quite happy to use violence to enforce My subjective views. For example, if someone throws a Sieg Heil on national television, I believe it is perfectly appropriate to hit them in the face with a baseball bat until they agree to believe in the subjective opinion that genocide is bad. Surely you agree that ethics have no objective truth behind them, yet I would endorse the use of violence to enforce a particular form of ethics that says we should not mass murder people for their ethnicity. Much as the Allied soldiers did in World War 2.

Then you're doing the exact same thing as the people you claim are unjustly enforcing objective reality, undercutting the very reason for rejecting it in the first place. That's why I said the belief is internally inconsistent.

The realists tell the lie that their beliefs are objective truth. I enforce My beliefs on others, yet tell no lie.
