Hej Glove
Make sure to read Ken's answer for the universal approach, then I have
another angle for you.

We wouldn't "know". Knowing implicates intellectual patterns. But reality is
more than just intellectual patterns. The MoQ does not exclusively subscribe
to Descartes' "I think, therefore I am", it equally much subscribes to
"I interact with others, therefore I am",
"I sense, therefore I am" and
"I weigh, therefore I am". In short, there are four types of real things,
not just one.
