     Suppose   we  were  to  meet  a  person  of  apparent
intelligence  and sincerity; a teacher or  professor  in a
school,   college or university ---   who states that non-
objective   and  reflexive "things"    like:     emotions,
desires, hopes, aspirations and fears are "NOT REAL".  How
are we to understand the significance of that statement if
it is defended forcefully and with passion?               
                                                          
     1.  Ask what the person really means by "NOT REAL"?  
                                                          
     2.  Ask what "NOT REAL" implies in behavioral terms? 
                                                          
     3.  Ask if such "things" should not be considered?   
                                                          
     4.  Ask if statements about such "things" really     
         mean anything?   If so, what do they mean?       
                                                          
     5.  Ask if the person we met is worthy of trust?     
                                                          
     6.  Ask if the person we met is mentally diseased?   
                                                          
     7.  Ask if the person we met feels any emotions?     
                                                          
     8.  Ask if the person we met has any desires/fears?  
                                                          
     9.  Ask if the person we met has any hopes or        
         aspirations?                                     
                                                          
    10.  Ask if it is possible to communicate with the    
         person whom we met?
