I wouldn't. It is an extreme philosophical position that is used as a thinking tool in philosophy. I can't think of a single great philosophical mind who proposed it as an actuality. But it is useful as a thought exercise. Guys like me, with barely enough mental dynamite to blow my nose, have more pragmatic issues to occupy my mind. I was only interested in this type of theoretical mental exercise in college.
