Okay. Like I said, "on the understanding that you'll simply dismiss it if it proves inconvenient to you." People have been thinking about these things for thousands of years, but you know better than to listen to them.

Hey, if that works for you, go for it. But don't think you can make everyone else in the world ignore the holes that were poked in your philosophy long before you ever formulated it.

I did listen to them. They were wrong.

Hey, if that works for you, go for it.

Why thank you. It's what I have always done.

But don't think you can make everyone else in the world ...

The last thing in the world I am interested in, is making anyone else do anything, think anything, or believe anything. I am not the least bit concerned with what other's think, believe, or do. Each of us has one life and one mind, for which we have complete authority and responsibility. If others choose to make a mess of their minds and lives based on ideas appropriate to brutes barely able to survive, thousands of years ago, that is their business.
