Hypocrisy is the act of pretending that one has beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities or standards that they do not actually have; this is usually done in order to mask their actual motives or feelings; falseness.
The term hypocrite is widely misused. Many persons state that hypocrisy is the action of 'not practising what you preach'. It is easy to see the resemblance, and completely understandable why there has been widespread confusion. However, this, like many others, is an incorrect definition.

So, lastly is what George Berkley called his Master Argument. This idea is attempted to show no object can ever exist outside of the mind, and to even think so is inconceivable. Try and think of an object unconceived. Did you do it yet? Nope! Because soon as you try you have conceived of it!

While you have made some good points the rest are bordering on gibberish.

You see I do not understand how someone who makes bordering on gibberish can make good points?

I've spent many, many years thinking on this subject, and studying people have thought as we [Xtinguish and I] do. Here's the situation that answers this for me.
Say I don't know a certain thing: some information or idea.
I ask a friend the answer, but he/she doesn't know.
A few days later, someone whom I've never met comes to me with the answer to my question, stating my friend had said I was wondering.
Because the answer is two steps removed from my own mind, it posits that it was not my own mind that made it up. I can verify that my friend knows this person, I can verify I never knew the answer, and I can now verify I know the answer by means of a two-step-removed party.
Read IT...

and for you my friend I do not need to be smart "PAL" for smartness is a requirement of ignorance
i would be happy if you just asked what it is you do not understand other than insult me
