Is Aristotle or Plato more responsible for contemporary discourse?

I searched different websites and what I'll have to say that it's hard to decide if Aristotle or Plato is more responsible for contemporary discourse. The reason is because there was a website that said Plato's philosophy was found in Aristotle's work. There was other websites that said Aristotle had better ideas and his philosophy made more sense than Plato. The principles of Aristotle or Plato still exist today by the way they use dialectic to persuade others. Just like the global leaders that we follow today as they use dialectic to persuade the masses to follow their agenda. These simple principles affect how we know what we know by the way people are influenced into what they are told. I'm not sure if Adolf Hitler said this, but if he did then I quote him; "If the lie is big enough people will believe it is real." This is another way of persuading people with following your hidden agenda. If you are a charismatic speaker you can get people to be attracted to your charm, and then the masses will follow you.

Why do we write things down?

The reason we write things down is pretty obvious to me; it's so we don't forget what we have planned. How much more obvious can it get; sometimes we forget things and sometimes we don't. No matter how good your memory is you should always write stuff down just in case it slips your mind. I'm sure it has happened to all of us one time or another where we know we have something to do, but forget for some reason or another to do it. It has happened to me several times where I had a task to do, but it slipped my mind while I was performing another task and I couldn't remember what it was I had to do. Sometimes things happen to slip my mind as well and it will come back to me a day or two days later. If you write things down it will gurantee that This is why it is always a great idea to write down whatever it is you have to do, so you don't forget.........
