I saw the smartest man ever the other day. He was wearing glasses and referenced literature a butt ton. He was so smart.
Good thing there are billions of other people just like him; people with the ability to remember and reference fake stories. Without them, why, there would be no one to regurgitate tired ideas. And without these tired ideas, why, they would have nothing to say. Thanks, smart people. Your promotion of this brand of intelligence makes the world stay the same!
P.S. I hate Aristotle. If you like him, you're pretentious.
Aristotle is a fucking moron. He got the physical sciences ALL WRONG and yet we still remember his legacy. Fun fact, Aristotle said human men have more teeth than human woman. What an amazing scientist! He could have researched this theory by conducting a 15 second experiment (i.e. counting) but he didn't. What a fucking genius. Yes, lets read and write more books about this blowhard. While we're at it, why don't we ask Spencer Pratt to write a book about string theory. Once published immediately ship it to every college campus.

The preservation of useless and exploded ideas is a vital function of civilization, Rachel. Without it, new generations of humans would be forced to look at the world with their own eyes and draw their own conclusions instead of adopting the realities of dead white bearded men. Do you want that to happen? No! If we are to achieve greatness, we must stand upon the shit-piles of giants.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness though we're talking about a species that took thousands of years to realize that wallowing in your own crap is a bad idea. You can't blame Aristotle for not being able to conceive of the scientific method. According to another dead white bearded man, he simply existed before history had developed to the point where the idea of proving your assertions with evidence was even imaginable!
Classicists are essentially people who dedicate their lives to studying the embarrassing baby pictures of humanity.
