  See “The Final Experiment”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expedition) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expediti... In particular the “Reactions” section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expedition)#Reactions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Experiment_(expediti... You’ll find this bit: > Alabama pastor Dean Odle suggested that Satan created a fireball to act as a false Sun. That is cuckoo cuckoo bananas to a point only “conspiracy nut” applies.

      That thought experiment assumes the whole world around you is a fabricated illusion. In which case it would be unnecessary for Satan to fake the Sun at that point, especially considering the pastor wasn’t even there. If everything around you is an illusion, there’s no need for 5D subterfuge chess, the devil could just fake whatever. So no, Descartes doesn’t apply. Unless I were the one being tested (seeing as I’m thinking, and therefore am). In which case that particular lie would be especially hilariously stupid.
