Alright bitches, today is Leibniz’ birthday, so you know what that means: 363 years ago today the coolest person in the universe was born. And as if you haven’t already heard enough about him from me, today I shall remind you all of a few of his contributions to the world:

• Monads. The ultimate fundamental elements of the universe that all act independently but yet appear to act cohesively.
• Optimisim. The best of all possible Leibniz contributions.
• Pre-Freudian psychology. Namely, the differentiation between the conscious and the unconscious.
• Library science. No joke.
• Choco Leibniz. Sure, they’d still be here, but they might have been called Choco Pascal or some such if Gottfried hadn’t been around.
• The freaking BINARY SYSTEM.
• That wig. Dear god, that wig.
• And let’s not forget calculus. Yeah, you hear that, Newton?! CALCULUS!

I adore you, Gottfried.
