There's a big difference between scepticism and paranoid schizophrenia 🙄

Its the same as saying "I doubt people are real" as "I doubt a car won't careen through my house" from the position of "I think its impossible to prove a car won't careen through my house" just as "its impossible to prove other people are real".
Ermm let's not play gatekeepers, you can be skeptical that water will get you wet :-P .

Sorry, it's the first time I see the word careen. You're confusing two connotations of doubt. Yes, I cannot be certain at any moment in time, not 100%, that a car won't careen through my house. I can be certain within the limits of my reality that it won't happen. I'm not paranoid about it and if someone asks, I'll just say how unlikely it would be. But but it could happen if the conditions were right, and I obviously don't know if the conditions are right or not for that to happen.

It seems you cannot be certain water will get you wet either in the same way that despite the abundant proof of "the realness of others" could simply be a spoof, no matter how unlikely or what a paranoid position that might be you cannot be certain.

Yep, exactly.

Real recognize real. Do you doubt your parents' reality or your siblings' your children's? Could you? Can something unreal beget something real, like you?

of course
nope
If something unreal cannot beget something real why do you doubt anyone's realness, especially your parents?

If they are not real, then they did not beget me and my origin is elsewhere but unknown. If they are real, they did. I assume they are real but I have to doubt it just like I doubt everything else.
