If your 'most valid indicator of sound philosophy' is 'feeling good' then opiates or other drugs would be valid ways of proceeding towards greater knowledge, wouldn't they? An alcoholic, beginning to feel a little low, would be well advised to grab a bottle and drink deep of the fountain of wisdom.
