How can I tell that the past isn't a fiction designed to account for the discrepancy between my immediate physical sensations and my state of mind?

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Douglas Adams
How indeed.
Brings me back to the "brain in a vat" arguments of my writing class! How do I know i'm not just a brain floating in a vat in a lab somewhere, recieving electrical stimulus from a machine? Which brings me back to Descartes, Cogito Ergo Sum, I think, therefore I am. Which brings me to the Matrix. Which brings me to prof Nian's Spoon theory, there is no spoon, or in thai, mai mii chaun. Which brings me back to thailand, I miss thailand!
