35. You are.
When you talk to others about "your reality" or "my reality", you are engaging in pseudoscience, and more importantly perpetuating a dangerous narrative that is used by many snake-oil salesmen. There is one reality, and whether you accept or reject it makes no difference to its existence, or its necessity.

You are fighting science with pseudoscience and flat-out woo, and frankly you should have expected some blowback to that on the internet.

As for your superiority complex regarding open-mindedness and absolutism, you really should have read that recent XKCD comic posted here. You should also research the concept of solipsism, and look at how closely your views on reality resemble this failed logical position. You should also factor into your calculations (hehe) that my mind is far more open than you might believe. I am open to a world of possibilities the likes of which would stagger the minds of many die-hard believers, but I am NOT open to the possibility that there is nothing objective, that there is no shared reality. Just as I am not open to the possibility that dragons will fly out of my ass tomorrow.
