I agree that we interpret all outside stimuli through our brains, and so what we know of the world is a construction of the brain. However, I still lean toward Descarte's view because I just can't understand how a bunch of chemical interactions could create a person's inner being/consciousness/sense of self/whatever you want to call it. Neither view can be proven to be true, so until one is proven false, I'm sticking with Descarte's.
