    Most people think that physical objects are real and that they exist independent of human contemplation. Objects do not change depending upon our thoughts about them. They exist objectively whether or not we think about them, observe them, measure them, or ignore them. The "common sense" philosophy has always been around, but it was articulated by 18th century Moderates in response to the destructive Enlightenment philosophies of John Locke and David Hume. The Moderates "rejected John Locke's radical doctrine of ideas because they recognized that 'everyone believes that a real world exists beyond our minds and imaginations and that we can truly know things about the world around us.' Even skeptics and relativists duck when they go through low doorways."

    and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them.
