Looking back, this is probably one of the most ambiguously gay posts I've made so far.
To be clear, I admire Aristotle for his intelligence - nothing else. It's incredible to think that 47 of his published books survived out of an estimated 170+. These alone were highly fundamental to the academic western world, and are still important over two millenia later. Imagine, in another thousand years we'll all be forgotten, but Aristotle's brilliance will live on. We're all nobodies!
But... did Aristotle ever enjoy information at his fingertips with the world wide web, or go blazing down a German autobahn in a Porsche at break-neck speeds, or hurtle through the clouds in a snazzy new
wingsuit? Touche.
Anyway, I'll have plenty of time to worship Aristotle later, I need to study for my exams now.
