I'll keep my "dishonest" objectivity, thanks. When I was in college, I read about a "philosopher" who convinced himself (and apparently, a lot of others) that all things existed because we believed they did. This "new honesty" sounds as looney as his idea to me.....

That was Sophocles. His followers were called Sophists, from whom we get the term "sophisticated."
Rudlof Carnap proved mathematically that the sophists' question could not be answered, and was therefore a pseudo-problem in philosophy.
