Real, it'd take one son of a bitch to make up the quantum world and the rest of the universe. Originality of that magnitude can't exist.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Philosophers don't lie. We just create a bunch of meaningless questions that people waste too much time on trying to find the answer to do anything else. Questions that don't benifit anyone and no one would not waste time looking for it instead of doing what they are supposed to do :p
No seriously, philosophy is great!

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

So saying those that dress in black are philosophers is, in fact, incorrect.

Both.

This is the real life in the way that it is the life we are living. To us, it is real. If I reach my hand out and touch the wall, I can feel it, it is REAL.
Now I'm going to take a few steps and walk into the next room so I can no longer feel or see the wall. Now, I can remember the wall, how it looks and how it feels. It exists inside of my mind. Next I talk to my friend in the next room who has never seen the wall before. They don't know what the wall looks like, or feels like. Until I spoke to them and shared the experience IT DIDN'T EXIST to them. So, my friend is curious and goes to see the wall. However, by some force of nature, or the neighbourhood vandals, the wall was recoloured and no longer has the same look as how I described it. So they call me over and tell me that I'm wrong, the wall is not white, it's blue. Now here's the thing, I can clearly see the wall colour has changed, but from my vantage point, it looks green.
I think the wall exists as a green wall.
My friend thinks the walls exists as a blue wall.
Everyone else is ignorant of the wall's existence, and therefore don't believe in it.

All of us are right, and all of us are living in the real life. This is only possible because each of us is living in separate fantasies that exist as a reality to us.

I hope that made sense xD

Since Greece is sunny and people get tanned.

These aren't paintings.

That's why I wrote "depiction".

There some sort of cross between a silohouette and a painting using ONLY black

I assume you mean "silhouette". Seesh...
And actually no, there's ochra too. Since when terracotta is yellow?

I don't care.

I just read John Crowley's immense Gnostic Rosicrusian Atheist Materialist phenomenological look into history, meaning, the existence of things, despair, boredom. sado-masochism, burning at the stake, playful hurtful gods and angels, alchemy, love, sleep, death, jobs, coincidence, demonic possession, werewolves, academic politics, memory, incest, obsession, drugs, innocent children, strippers, cults, cigarettes, Pepsi and Velveeta.

He seems to answer yes to each of your options.

He also says "Why do we have to have a reason for everything, or anything? Why posit a creator, or bother to deny the creation either? I do not know what makes the wind blow. I do know that it is not made by trees waggling their leafy fingers, even if you claim to believe that. But I do not need to prove that anything else causes it either."

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

I seriously doubt you are a philosopher.

Tell me, Kala, what is your view of the mind-body problem? How about the problem of universals? What about Münchhausen's Trilemna, or your views on meta-ethics?
