As most of you probably know, There’s an old theory that a lot of the ancient Greek and other manuscripts have been hidden or altered. If you read a lot of Aristotle, you’ll notice he often says he’ll get to something later (Ima hafta circle back), but he never does. One of the best known examples is his lack of coverage of comedy in the Poetics. The “loss” of this information is sometimes attributed to the fear the powers that be have of being the targets of mockery. People have written a lot about what Aristotle would have said on the subject of comedy, including an interesting book called Aristotle on Comedy by Richard Janko.

Can we mock the absurdity of how much spin everything you post here has on it?
You can try.
