As the philosophical battle of wits continued on, I had to concede to the fact that Philonous has convinced me that while objects of the world existed, the reality I live in only exists in my mind. Philonous argues that our views on matter in the world only existed because of our senses.

Klosterman expresses his viewpoint on how the media has ruined people’s perception on what true love actually is.
