Comment on Aristotle’s 5 Predicables Explained by bob

can you please explain the difference between #3 differentia and #1 the species.
it sounds like they both refer to the specific difference, or is it the case that the species is stated as a substance and the differentia is something between an accident and a property (i.e. differentia is not Inconsequential like an accident, but it doesn’t flow from the essence like a property)?
or is #1 the species just the result of combining #2 the genus with #3 the differentia?

So the symbol for this is a circle, a straight line, and two smaller circles on the other side of the line, right?
My take on that is the line is the One in the invisible realm, and dualism in the visible. The dualism being the ghost in-a-machine type of doctrine, as when Plato has Socrates speak of soul and body in terms of body and clothes.

But Plato did not mention Clinton, Bush, and Obama! Who’s the third man? Who are the first and second men? Why don’t we just call it the Argument of Infinite Regress, or the Argument of Superforms?>0

I think we should stop using the word politicians and replace it with sophists.
