Philosophical Help Line

This is part of an actual call recorded by the A&Q division of the Philosophical Help Line call center. The names have been removed to protect the identities of the parties involved.

Q: Thank you for calling Philosophical Help Line, where every answer has a question, is there anything you would like us to question today?

A: Hi there. I was pondering this: Suppose that someone only lived for one day; half of their life would be light, and the other half would be dark.

Q: Isn't it that way already?

A: But we sleep during the night.

Q: Why wouldn't they just sleep  during the night too?

A: Because that would be half of their already short life.

Q: Isn't it that way already?

A: ...yeah.....okay....thanks. (click)
[Dial tone]

Just another call, helping people at the Philosophical Help Line call center.
