this is a belief system and therefore as valid as me saying a purple dinosaur makes the results of science come out the way we want it to.

The scientific method is not a plant or a star. The scientific method is a system derived by subjective beings to figure out stuff. I'd love to hear how you think a subjective consciousness can create a method that magically achieves objectivism. Anything from a subjective point is at least in part always subjective.

The word "true" does not require collaboration. Truth does not require "we".

It is true that I am thinking about kidneys right now. And the methodology for coming to this conclusion is subjective experience.

I could go on. I could answer any of your assertions with either this question or statement and we will get nowhere. You admit that we can get nowhere, and then you try to get somewhere. You continue to make claims about reality, claim uncertainty is not possible, yet continue to act as though you are. You are unable to live the philosophy you espouse since you're unable to say that you can't make objective claims about reality without that very claim being a claim about reality. Your position is philosophically untenable.
So long as you don't call whatever you call what you're doing "philosophy," "science," or some other type of word which would falsely lend your arguments credibility, I have no problem with you believing whatever you want to believe. My main goal is to maintain the integrity of science and philosophy.
