Intellect and Chocolate

Much serious thought has been devoted to the subject of chocolate: What does chocolate mean? Is the pursuit of chocolate a right or a privilege? Does the notion of chocolate preclude the concept of free will?

Yet even these most provocative lines of inquiry seems to blur when the Rational Skepticists first posed that profound and unsettling question,

How do we know that chocolate exists?

This had everyone stumped (and not a little depressed) for quite some time.

Then the Empiricists came along and pointed out that of course what we mean by " knowing" is "that which we learn through our senses." For example, we know that chocolate exists because we can taste it.

Some irksome individual - a Negativist - noted the resulting paradox: By the time the existence of chocolate is thus (that is, by tasting) confirmed, the chocolate no longer exists.

It was the Capitalists who first realized that it does not really matter whether chocolate truly exists or not, as long as people buy it.
