This video is based on:
Schmid, J.C. Forthcoming. “Stage One of the Aristotelian Proof: A Critical Appraisal”, Sophia. Link: philpapers.org/archive/SCHSOO... [The abstract should say 'this question' lol]
Also: Here's a supplemental document to the video in which I level yet another criticism toward the Aristotelian proof -- namely, that it seems to actually entail existential inertia. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/1A79x...
