Aristotelean Principle

We discussed how the Aristotelean Principle says that as humans we would rather partake in complex things than passive things. I would say that this theory is flawed. Maybe this was true at one point but with society today people are looking for easier ways to get what they want. For example reading a book is a more complex way of getting a story opposed to watching tv to see a story, but now days most people including myself would rather watch television than take the time to read a book.
