Thought of His Thoughts

M after reading a text for an hour: "I should have written my dissertation on ________! He is awesome!"

He goes on describing how this philosopher says all the things that another philosopher said, but way earlier. He quotes me a few lines.

Me: "Do you feel like you are Adam finding your Eve? 'At last this is experience of my experience, thought of my thoughts?'"

That is what is is like to live with a philosopher. In case you did not know.
