"What is truth?" asked Pontius Pilate. If we know truth, would we know what is real and what is not? CAN something be not-real if we can conceive of it? Are thoughts real? Do they define reality, whatever that is? What, then, holds reality in check (if anything)? Since I'm thinking about this have I created a new reality in which wurzel-mangels are the dominant species? And why is wurzel-mangel hypenated? If it is German, wouldn't it be something like wurzelmangelweissedumkoptmitscheisse?
