ahhh, this is a fun topic, if anyone else comes to debate it. i am a dualist.

simply put:

too me, everything exists but it is only brought into meaning when a person directly observes it. i am also a pyrrhonist, i believe that one cannot actually know anything because it is clouded by our perseptions. eg. a blind person waking up and seeing black and white his reality would totally change, and if he then woke up the next day seeing color it would change again. reality is all in how we percive it.

long explanation: later, i have to go
