But you should be able to produce such evidence... if it's not convincing to them, why is it convincing to you?

Because they don't have enough evidence of your rationality.

Then why can't you produce that instead? If you don't have any outside-view evidence of your rationality, why do you believe you are rational?

Most people in the world believe in the supernatural. What's your outside view argument that it is they and not you who are irrational?
