Aristotle (384 - 322 BC), in the Metaphysics, reports to us that the Pythagoreans believed that the elements, or building blocks, of things were numbers.
The Pythagoreans were definitely into the mysical side of all things, seeing everything has a measureable quality to it. The numbers were ground zero for everything.

Thank you for sharing! :)
Interesting. I wonder how Pythagoras and his followers exemplified their philosophy.
I am a practicing Pythagorean Mystic.
Now capitalist believe numbers are the path to exploitation.
Was I supposed to have known/remembered all this?
So interesting !
