We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Actually, for /jp/ residents this line of thought is very useful. What if you're actually a cute, eternally young girl and an evil daemon is making you think that you're a man? Surely if you can defeat Descartes' daemon, you'll get to be a cute girl and elegantly drink tea with the pinky finger extended in the company of other young maidens for all eternity.

We are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our consciousness.

There are only two ways in which we can account for a necessary agreement of experience with the concepts of its objects: either experience makes these concepts possible or these concepts make experience possible.

A proper conception of Occam's Razor as applied to laws, combined with the mathematical logic of probability, shows that the most probable explanation for our senses is the most obvious one: that there really is an external world.

Of course I suppose it's possible that the situation is more esoteric, it's just unlikely.

Does Occam's Razor really have any authority?

Occam's razor principally derives from the fact that the probability of A and B cannot be greater than the probability of A or B alone.

So unless you are disputing that 2+2=4, you'd better believe it.
