Cogito Ergo Sum.
Code:
Reality is merely the collective of electrical impulses interpretted, by our minds. By that notion, how can we assure whether our senses do define reality, or not? It could all be a facade.

Why do you choose our senses to define reality?

Don't both options contradict with one another, though?

Everything around us, could ultimately be a mere figment of our minds. How could we know any different? Myself, I'm a bit dubious about both options.

The second option is incoherent. It purports to equate reality with sensory data yet sensory data is gathered from an external reality.
If reality is not external then our senses are illusionary.

Our senses do not need to represent reality for us to use them to navigate reality.
