Last thursdayism is an interesting concept that really challenges what you can determine as truth. Fundamentally all we can really do is come up with some good probability estimates that reality is as we think it is. Much like the matrix, if something is powerful enough to fool all of your senses, including your memory how do you even detect it? At the end of the day I don't think it matters very much. If our reality is an elaborate trick or not science allows us to predict and manipulate the physical world in ways that improve our existence. So it's worth perusing and using as a tool but there are somethings you'll never know for sure.
