I fully agree with all of it except his assertion that "time is motion".

Time of itself does not actually exist. What exists is eternity. Time is a man-made concept, whereas man had nothing to do with the existence of eternity.

All that exists even in eternity is the 'now moment', which means that time is not actually in motion at all. All there ever is, is 'right now', this instant.

That is why planning is a futile endeavor, just as guilt and worry about what seems to be a past event is equally as futile.

It was actually Einstein who proved that 'time' doesn't exist.

Aristotle didn't know everything, though some choose to live by his words today.

@swirlie Aristotle was a philosopher , he didn't prove or disprove anything...he philosophized, I made a lighthearted post on his writing, and as you sometimes do....took it way too seriously

@swirlie Good call on time. Time is nothing more than a measurement.

There is no such thing as taking something seriously. Taking something seriously doesn't make it righter or wronger. You provided some philosophical thoughts from the writings of Aristotle and I replied to your post with some proven facts from Einstein regarding those philosophical musings of Aristotle's. That's all that transpired here.

@swirlie I implied he was smoking weed and put the bong down and stared at an apple for two hours as well

Yes, I know you did. I also knew those were your thoughts and words, not his.
