Literally a high point of my adult life was when Welles’ Othello became available on VHS (a great movie that almost *didn’t* get made)

I am not allowed to buy more food until I eat all the food I have. All the baking soda. All the cream of tartar. All the onions, eggs, Cheerios, canned soup, frozen broccoli, tomato paste, chickpeas, mustard, herbs de Provence.

The economic theory of Karl Polanyi boils down to this: before the 18th c. landowners and legislators avoided policies that would overly disrupt the lives of common people— high taxation; free markets— because they didn’t want to be murdered.

If people use it at all (it’s rare) they almost always use it to mean wandering or itinerant, almost never to refer to a school of philosophy. The common meaning has nothing to do with Aristotle.

“Peripatetic” is from the Greek “peri” + “pateo”— “to walk around.” The Aristotelians were called Peripatetics because Aristotle supposedly walked around while he lectured. But the word peripatetic does not originate from Aristotle. I mean, all words have etymologies.
