It turns out that 81.6% of philosophers are non-skeptical realists about the external world, thus confirming my hypothesis that there is greater philosophical consensus in favor of the Democratic party than about the existence of a mind-independent external world.
A dirty job, but someone has to do it. Who else is going to doubt the existence of the external world? (while getting paid to do so)
