I find it interesting that so much of what we do today (and how we do it) seems to have started along the Mediterranean Sea around the year 1, give or take a few hundred years. Back then, it seems that there were schools everywhere and learning was a main focus. Now it seems that learning is, in general, something young students dread school. What changed?

Chapter 1
I'm not really sure what I thought of chapter 1. Some of it was confusing, some of it was slightly boring, and some of was inspirational. I guess that's what makes up a school textbook.

The value placed on "pure knowledge" has shifted. We don't see scholars and thinkers (with the exception of Steven Hawking, perhaps) seen as heroes -- or thinking for its own sake valued as a pursuit.
