"There are different kinds of curiosity: one springs from interest, which makes us desire to know everything that may be profitable to us; another from pride, which springs from a desire of knowing what others are ignorant of."
- La Rochefoucauld, Moral Maxim № 173 (1678)
If he's implying that the second kind is worse, then pub #trivia must not have been invented yet in 1678. I want to know; AND I want to vanquish all challengers. Don't talk about my $25 gift card like it's some kind of vice.
