An Open Letter to Shaq

Dear Shaq,

Your quotatious CREATIVITY inspired us to try to imagine what REALITY would be like if everything were defined by SHAQNESS. One of us is a mathematician, another is a philosopher, and the third works in D.C. politics. We like to think of our project as constructing The Big Aristotle's Metaphysics: in modern art, music, science, sports, the movies -- anything and everything -- there are infinite opportunities to imagine SHAQNESS. In philosophy, people called modal realists claim that every possible world is just as real as the actual world. But on IF SHAQ WERE... we contend that there is only ONE world: the SHAQTUAL WORLD.

Hopefully you, the original BIG ARISTOTLE, can use some of these Shaqorisms if you feel them. Thanks for hollering back to us on twitter about Count Shaqula. You are the chief vampire: you can't be bitten.

Sincerely,

Your Friends @IfShaqWere
