Is there such a thing as original thinking or do we all merely recycle pieces of existing thinking and put them into different combinations and different words?

Sometimes I think that everybody who uses language is saying the same things and that disagreement is imagined.

Nope - This was written about 3,000 years ago!

ECC 1:9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
