There is clearly an opaque, tenacious philosophy that claims that *nothing* is real, and *everything* is created by humans and their will. Its adherents are apparently the descendants of Protagoras, and they ignore Socrates' complementary humility, "I know that I know nothing".

The most serious devotees are hard at work at the moment in the US, *still* telling us "This obvious dementia is not what it looks like. The DNC and MSM pooh-bahs will tell you when it is dementia."

I wonder if dementia is contagious? After 9 months of this slaughter of an unarmed civilian population, and the torture of thousands taken back to Israel, I think I may be succumbing to some kind of dementia. Oh yeah, Happy 4th of July! Ain't America great!?

But what is reality? Does any of it make a lick of sense?

""I know that I know nothing"

Those are called self contradictory statements.

Like "you can;t be sure of anything"

response question: "Are you sure ?"
