Annotation

Philosophy, from Ancient Greek, philosophia, meaning 'love of wisdom'...Can you ever be in the wrong place at the right time? If 299,792,458 m/s is the speed of light, what is the speed of dark? What happens if you get scared half to death twice?...The world is full of philosophy yet, although nearly everyone does it, there is a great image of pretentiousness surrounding the sport, as if philosophy were something extremely difficult to do. It isn't, as this book shows. Even if you think you know nothing about philosophy, was it not Socrates who advocated that the only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing? If you can argue it, it's philosophy!
