What God whispered in you ear and told you this? You make several
unsupported assumptions in making that statement, and in practice they
are NOT valid in the world we inhabit.


Einstein zombie world? Honest Roberts you are absolutely correct.
Similarly 2+2=4 is NOT valid in Big Brother's zombie world:

http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/ George Orwell "1984":
"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and
you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make
that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.
Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of
external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy
of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that
they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be
right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or
that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If
both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if
the mind itself is controllable what then?"
