Awkward. “I Tweet” would work slightly better but it wasn’t “I write”, it was “I think”. Thinking needs no external paraphernalia of either sort. Precious little, or too much tortured, thinking happening among the Q consortium. And way too little doubting.
Yeah, I know he’s trying to make the point that changing even a word of an ancient quote somehow vitiates the culture of the world and poisons its precious bodily fluids, but it’s like saying “I do this thing, therefore I exist,” which seems fine to me. Kind of along the lines of refuting someone by kicking a stone. There’s a time and place for empiricism.

Still better than the common right-wing populist motto of “I have a thought, therefore I’m a genius.”
