Not what I said.

Reality is objective, but not primary. We know existence exists because we
exist. If we didn't exist, could we know existence exists?

As you said, you cannot SHOW that anything exists apart from humans.
Yet we know as a practical matter -- not faith -- that existence exists.
Otherwise, we would not be able to make statements like "You cannot
