----------------------------------------- The Persistence of Reality
here are three further data from our Scientific Correctness Survey on the topic "does reality exist?"
investigator M.D. Sofka posed the question to several prominent philosophers while standing in the wine and cheese line at a faculty mixer. Sofka reports that he was inundated with more than just wine and cheese. sofka spared us some of the details. we will spare you all of them.
Investigator M. Gibbs informs us that the question "Does reality exist?" is covered in an economics modeling course at the University of Chicago.
Investigator D. Kincade reports that "the only existing thing is irritation."
