The prompt:

In the first meditation, Descartes argues that we cannot have knowledge of the external world (including our own bodies) on the basis of the senses. To make this point, he uses two main scenarios, i.e. dreams and the evil demon. Because we cannot rule out these scenarios (and others like them) on the mere basis of our impressions, Descartes thinks we could never have knowledge of the external world through the senses.

It’s now the year 2500 A.D. and scientists claim to have found a surgery that defeats Descartes’s radical skepticism. They an do this, they claim, by inserting a :sensory module” in the brain that detects when our sense impressions are caused by objects and how accurately those impressions are. The person with a module with always have a small” accuracy bar “in the top right of their visual field that indicates the percentage of how accurate our impressions are. (ignore people with blindness for the example.)  They claim to have made it possible for us to have knowledge of the external world on the basis of the senses because the test makes the accuracy bar appear in our sense impressions, which is something that e can be certain of ) we can be certain that we have such and such impressions). They claim to have refuted Descartes.
