An even harder challenge is demonstrating that the nature underlying the senses is not as we experience it. How would you go about doing that, except for issuing baseless assertions by saying, "God does it", "cosmic consciousness", "mathematical structures", "the matrix"; "I can't demonstrate any of this, but it's fun to think about, therefore it's real".
