Everything said about Aristotle, oldest first

Nov 24, 2020 positive
Insight
Roger Martin: Creative domains require creating causes, not analyzing past data
“Analyze data, collect as much data, analyze it rigorously to determine causes of effects in this other part of the world. Imagine possibilities and choose the one for which the most compelling argument can be made. And he said, the job of human beings in that …”

Roger Martin: Big Companies Stifle Innovation by Requiring Prior Analytical Proof
“No new idea in the history of the world has been proven in advance analytically. Why? It's linked to what Aristotle said, right? You can't prove something new and different that hasn't happened yet, analytically. And most innovation processes in the world …”

Sherman: Overcoming impulse relies on cognitive representation, not desire strength
“We often think about strength of desire, and I think that's wrong. You know, my desire for that next drink is much stronger than my desire for refraining. But it's not simply the strength. It has to do with the whole picture. What else hangs in that picture th…”

Insight
Valiante: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics captures almost all modern success literature
“If you want to aggregate every success book ever written, go read Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Like, there's not a whole lot happening that, that Aristotle, you know, didn't already write about in Nicomachean Ethics.”

Nov 26, 2024 positive
Insight
Holiday: Virtue is a practice built through repeated actions, not a fixed trait
“Wouldn't it be far better to think of virtue as a verb? Aristotle says, like, how do you get better at playing the flute? It's by playing the flute. How do you become a more generous person? It's by doing more generous actions.”

Mar 3, 2026 neutral
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Tenev: The vast majority of Aristotle's training data is synthetic
“All of the data that the vast majority of the data that trains Aristotle is actually data that we generate. It's not, you know, internet data.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Tenev: AI market will see multiple domain-specialized models, not one winner
“I think there's going to be multiple models and it's really going to depend on the data that is used to feed them. So for example, one thing that's great about Aristotle, which is harmonics model is you've got mathematicians that are using it to ask very comp…”

Assertion Supported
Tenev: Harmonic's Aristotle achieved gold medal performance at the IMO
“Earlier this year, we actually achieved gold medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad, which is the world's most prestigious mathematics competition. These are like cracked high schoolers, like five people got perfect scores in the Internat…”
