Once a philosopher twice a sodomite, Voltaire used to say.

But which one is more mature?
Does the philosopher have deeper knowledge through a profound understanding of an isolated, individuated experience?
Or does habit-forming experience have a greater value?

The question is not about being bummed.

I think once we have been toilet trained, that we can literally "wear the pants" we become adults. Unless of course, we urinate in our pants.
