I never stated that "Philosophism" or whatever you may choose to call it was original, I merely stated that what I believe is something I created, not something that another person laid out before me.

There's a difference between taking the first thing that's laid out in front of you, and making the effort to learn everything you can about philosophy (or anything) and then drawing conclusions. The fact that you believe it is something you created proves that you haven't done much research into what other people have written on the subject. And if you don't make the effort to learn the answers, 'questioning all' is really just being contrary.

You didn't deny the "18-year-old" part of the "18-year-old stoner" supposition. Ten years from now, you may stumble across something you wrote on your Philosophism, and you will laugh at yourself too.
