Perhaps our senses are deceiving us, and everything we perceive isn’t real but is merely an illusion like in the movie The Matrix.

Everything I perceive is real. I just may not be what I interpret it to be.

By the way, in the picture above, Neo and Trinity are lying in chairs, heads resting on rest, arms resting on the chairs' arms, feet pointing down. What happens to all those sensations when they are jacked in to the matrix? What if in the matrix, you're hung upside down with your blood leaving your legs and rushing to your head. What about the sensations of reclining in a chair, your heart working to pump the blood up from your legs?

well put Kristin.

Augustine said re missionaries of "Boutta" who said we are deluded in thinking we exist, that something has to exist to be having a delusion, so if I am having the delusion I exist it proves I exist.

your position will be flat on the ground when you trip over something you decide is not real because you don't trust your senses, or too busy philosophizing while walking and don't notice something.

this conversation reminds me of a cartoon where an alchemist is being told "if the rent isn't paid by tomorrow you can go make gold somewhere else." all this philosophizing won't keep you dry when you stand out there in the rain. you might ignore the rain but it might be the last straw that gets you catch a cold you can't ignore.

people are inaccurate, so several people will say different somewhat about the same thing. if you combine the points in common you got the truth likely. same with senses.

No, you don´t understand Occams Razor if you think it applies here.
