I expect you mean there is probably no such thing as absolute reality, and there are probably no absolutes in the universe.

We all live our lives on the assumption that there is - to do otherwise would lead to our deaths or incarceration in an asylum quite quickly. The fact that you send emails to this list proves that you think there is an objective universe outside your own mind.
