Look, not to sound like a cad but he was totally calculating the area under those curves if you know what Iām saying.
He probably also just wasnāt a cad and when asked what he did when he wasnāt working on math he didnāt say some unseemly shit like, āOh, you know, take in a play at the theatre, practice the violin, fuck some princesses or queens, fairly normal stuff.ā

Basically, as a non-married man, I get tired of fielding questions like, āOk, what does that mean, you fuck pigeons or something?ā

Leibniz in the hot tub with a half dozen princesses after a night of dirty dancing and people just believe him when he says they were only talking about math and philosophy.

Iām such a weirdo that people already assume Iām not gonna get married no matter how much of a serious loving relationship Iām in, just to be a weirdo, but do you all get stigmatized for that?

Perhaps why the husbands werenāt so fond of him. Donāt seem so bright to the wife after a bit of tutoring from Gottfried the Guru.
Among the few people in north Germany to accept Leibniz were the Electress Sophia of Hanover (1630ā1714), her daughter Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (1668ā1705), the Queen of Prussia and his avowed disciple, and Caroline of Ansbach, the consort of her grandson, the future George II. To each of these women he was correspondent, adviser, and friend. In turn, they all approved of Leibniz more than did their spouses and the future king George I of Great Britain.[47]

In addition to Leibniz, Newton was also in a flame war with Robert Hooke, who was a light is a wave guy. Newton was a particle guy and rage quit the correspondence, waiting till Hooke died to publish.
When Newton took over the Royal Society, he basically tried to erase Hooke from history.
Hooke, though no slouch of a physicist, apparently used his position at the RS to take credit for the work of others so maybe Newton karma-served him.

btw I meant for fucking pigeons, not for being unmarried
Yeah but most people have figured out thereās no reason to put a lot of effort into it at this point.

So iām reading that Leibniz was the greatest womanizer of the 17th century, to the point that, similar to Genghis Khan, everybody with a European lineage is a direct descendant of The Leib.

Thatās not really a giant duck, just a duck with good posture.
Btw I discovered that Long Boi, the tall duck, is half indian runner duck/half mallard duck, and is not in fact a tall ass mallard. You have no idea how disappointed I am.

I didnāt know the Leib worked on the first mechanical calculators and binary. Thatās wild stuff for his day.
wat happened?
Is this because I said I wouldnāt invite the no-sex-before-marriages people to the orgies?
