    My friends think that they are. I mean, I heard that they measured the room to see if an elephants present, when clearly there is none in the immediate vicinity.

    Do you think they are? Are they as wise as people say they are?

    i think most to all modern philosophers are pretty well crazy.
    classic philosophy test question:
    "prove to me that the chair isnt there"
    and my fav answer
    "what chair"

    did you know that there are three sides to every story?
    your side, my side, and the truth.

    -do you think that people will actually be able to see the complete truth of anything?

    there once was this city... and all the towns folk drank from the only well in the center of the village... one night a evil witch poisoned the well...... all the villagers drank from it, but not the king....the villagers went mad and began acting crazy and destorying things,running around in the nude, eating sand..... they then realized that their king did not drink from the well... and they claimed he must be crazy...then they kicked down the castle doors and dragged the king out.... they swore the king was crazy and that only the water from the well would cure him.... so the king drank the water... and all the town lived happily ever after.
