Aristotle is the one who came up with the "substance" for "transubstantiation" because he could not spell element, atom, sub atomic....

He thought flies came from rotting meat, and fish came from fruit dropping in the water , hence , "meatless fridays", based upon his assumptions

He thought that the earth was the center of the universe...

Plato his student said we all should serve 2 years in politics and the military, no more, no less, and neither should be a life long career...

there is no human existance compatible with total anarchy.

Oh, to the contrary. Anarchy is the case. The 'government' does not exist, the group of people who cloak their actions with that name do so because people believe in a 'government' which is precisely as imaginary as Zeus. 'The government' has nothing, desires nothing, does nothing, is nothing. It is only a fool who obeys imaginary beings.

Also, I am quite aware that Aristotle was frequently wrong. He had a poor conception of just what methodology was appropriate for the natural sciences. Nonetheless, without Aristotle's basic metaphysics and epistemology, science is itself a meaningless pursuit.
