thought it would be cool to put this here to get some input from other people and possibly people who have a much beefier academic record than myself :p
Basically my thesis for my philosophy course: we can only know reality from experience and perception.
my arguments are:
humans have a natural flaw which forces them to interpret data as soon as it is experienced. (John Searle's status functions are my main proof)
If we look at t Jean Baudrillard's hyperreality we can realize what a HIGH level simulation would be like and using George Berkley and The Matrix i conclude that we can conclude that we may be in a type of simulation.
Then to tie it up i use Kant and his phenomena and noumena to conclude saying that the only reality we can know is of perception and experience and as wittgenstein said 'Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent' which is what kant defines as the noumena
sooo rip it apart help it out do whatever :D
