It's indisputably Leibniz, at least if you go deeper into his writings than the normal surface level stuff like Monadology.

But this does work.
I showed a girl ive been fucking forest anon, Q videos, talk to her about my private philosophy even if she doesnt understand anything, explain to her the most recent book I am reading as if I am just talking to myself, play whatever ringe music I am into and she just lies with me and has genuine interest in seeing what stuff I am gonna pull out this time.
