Come to think of it, all this means is:

People like to learn stuff. You can tell because they look to look at things.

People are social.

Differences between members of a group subume differences between different groups.

The word "to be" means different things.

I knew all this when I was 10.

BTW that Aristotle believed the equivocity of being toward to be based on form is a matter of great dispute. He never gives a final answer to the question of what the primary meaning of "to on" is.
