Also remember that they come from an age when all academics were expected to write like someone had just shoved a vase full of flowers and a dictionary down their throat, in order to "differentiate themselves" from other people.
Amidst the mists and fiercest frosts,
With barest wrists and stoutest boasts,
I thrust my fists against the posts,
And still insist I see the ghosts.

I bet sometimes they didn't just shove it down their throats, they shoved them somewhere else too......
:P

I'm sorry. I was feeling mischievous when I wrote that. I shouldn't have derailed the topic and killed it. Now I feel bad about it.

To atone for my sin, I offer this meager chance of reviving this great discussion. How about we discuss the importance of this in our lives? What I mean is, does it matter if we don't exist? If we do, fine. If we don't, does it matter? Shouldn't we try to appreciate as much as we can this semblance of existance? Does it matter if our feelings and sensations are illusions?

I apologise to all those who have participated in this thread and to those I might have offended.
