The Metaphysics (350 BCE)

The manuscript starts with:

> All men by nature desire to know.

I'm not sure if I can take this Aristotle guy serious or not. In present day most people are not interested in knowledge at all, some are actively pursuing to stay ignorant. I suspect that wasn't too different in ancient Greece. Just that Aristotle moved in academia where knowledge was appreciated.

Even so many years ago, broad sweeping statements are more often wrong than right.
