Meanwhile, I'll stick to my view that there's next to nothig for which there's universal agreement.


One sentence isn't an area. Nevertheless:-

There are still people who think the Sun goes round the Earth, as their senses prove to them. Plus what Q said.

There isn't universal agreement about the nature of that 'you', nor of whether 'you's are thinking. Both of those are the kinds of arguments Descartes used for dismissing other proofs of our existence.
