I was watching this video about Aristotle and "The Meteorlogica" which is his book about how the sky and matter works? It's notable for being a "theory of natural... science?" let's just say "A theory of natural things"
It's mostly wrong, parts are lost, it got translated, then the Alchemists tried to use it as a basis. I was rolling my eyes at what a mess it all was...
Then I thought about LLMs and internet content farms and suddenly it was much less amusing.
