Again let me bring up the global skepticism argument and work from there.
A) If something other than physical objects outside of us we think we percieve was manipulating all that you percieve, you could never have any indication of it because all of your reasoning about whether or not this is the case is based on all that you percieve. Therefore you have
no indication as to the probability that objects external to you actually exist. You also have no idea what the natural sequence of events occur in is, (if there even are events occuring)
B) More importantly, you have no way of knowing what order events are actually occuring in. Meaning for example they could be occuring in a different order than we have always thought, because some aspect of how this order is communicated to us or how we percieve it.
