He asked me what I thought about the class and I told him that I was having a difficult time understanding what constitutes a Philosophy. He lauged and said, that in his opinion if you have a thought and another agrees with that thought then you have just established a Philosophy. By the way, my favorite Philosopher of old, whose name I cannot now recall (some of you may remember), was the Philosopher that at some point determined that one cannot truly know anything so he never spoke again.

That's a very powerful story. His mind was so powerful that it essentially removed his ability to think... for a mind to turn itself off, just because it could, because it could, infinity.
