Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 64–On influential accidents

Here’s another one that I find funny but I don’t know if it really came through to anyone else. It also represents a slightly more extreme version of my own response to learning the fact that the word “metaphysics” was created simply because of the order in which Aristotle wrote his treatises. I mean, this dude is so influential that the order of his works defines what we call whole categories of thought. How do you not hate that just a little bit? I mean, not only are you and I not going to be that important, nobody alive today could possibly be, no matter how brilliant they are. It’s just not possible anymore.

Yeah, I hate you, Aristotle.

After Aristotle finished writing his treatise on physics, he wrote about the attempts of man to come to grips with reality. These writings are known as “after physics.” In greek, “metaphysics.” The name this discipline retains to this day. I hate you, Aristotle
