I could have written it as:

Plenty of people are happy just going down the pub and drinking
themselves silly every night. They dislike acquiring knowledge ("That's
****ing boring mate, shut up and drink"), and that's just an extreme
example to make a point.

But anyway, Tim's got a point and I was wrong. People *do* like
acquiring knowledge; it's just that different people have different
measures of what's useful knowledge. You consider history to be useful;
many people don't.
