Ok ok fine I'll bite. Studying philosophy is a matter of refining your approach to problems, not memorising what some gnarled old Greek dude thought 2000 years ago

Also literally everyone has a unique philosophy.

    I suppose that's true, but I don't have the energy to think about it.

    Well yeah, because you didn't study it at school and so it doesn't come as naturally as it might

    I had a volunteer assigned to me, I learned everything, and within a week, I didn't know it again.

    I could never keep up, as I always wrote down slower, and so was left behind.

    I was jealous, and did try to study.

    For some reason, whenever you have something wrong with you, people just assume it's because you did something, or you didn't try hard enough.

    No, I was always just worse than others at everything I do.

    Well opinions on this differ, but I think it's a process, not a body of knowledge. You learn to apply the process...

    Well, just because you think I can do something about it, just because you can, does not mean I can too.

    I have an entire schedule that is designed for me to devote my life to studying several subjects. I have been experimenting with different approaches to studying under this regime, and also was testing if I can hold 4 streams of thought at once.

    I think I can hold 2 at most, maybe 3. But it becomes all chaotic.

    Any more than 1 seems too much. Sometimes a whole one is too much
