Call them fairy tales if you want, but they're fairy tales that shaped this earth as we knew it. Very important fairy tales.

>This should be made evident by the fact we don't even have Aristotle's proper books, but only his notes.
Partly true, maybe. No one knows whether what we have are proper inquiries, edited editions of proper inquiries, or collections of notes either by Aristotle or students of his. The Physics might well be "notes" of a kind (even then, that doesn't really tell us what the difference would be between his "proper books" and his "notes"; would the notes be the main body of his lectures, to be filled in with further examples?), and most of the major works that cross reference each other are at least edited (either by Aristotle himself or who the fuck knows who). But there's not really any great compelling reason to think that everything that's come down is in that state.

feminister could at least start a discussion well, but if you pushed her enough you would have discovered a severely limited mind. Incidentally, feminister always struck me as a guy

Translations can be interpretations in the musical sense. Does listening to Mozart's music require him to be physically playing it in my living room? Would I need to learn to read the scores to relate to the original?

It just seems to me that the OP is trying to make a political point about a specific language housing an original thought.

It's cure that liberals think they know anything. First of all, not all "reds" are into centralized planning. In fact, no "reds" are into centralized planning as anything but a temporary situation. (You wouldn't know this, you've never read anything.) Second, "reds" historically don't rely on just central planning. (You wouldn't know this, you've never read anything.) Third, there is literally nothing pointing to central planning being worse than free market economies, but there is ample evidence of free market economies being completely terrible for people, which is exactly why all liberal regimes today have a combination of central planning and free markets. (You wouldn't know this, you've never read anything.)

Hmmm, I wonder...what could the word "America" mean when referring to a book written about 12 writers from the USA?

>If I say that God doesn't exist, then what set everything in motion?
what does it mean "to exist"?
Possible solution is that god "put everything in motion" and ceased to exist just after starting it, so your god doesn't exist.
>God is perfect in every way.
this is the same "Omni" logical fallacy and you know it. If you
