Talete di Mileto
Talete di Mileto, a pre-Socratic philosopher from ancient Greece, is recognized as the father of Western philosophy and is known for his foundational work in geometry and astronomy. He is famous for the principle that water is the fundamental substance of all things, and he is credited with one of the earliest applications of scientific reasoning. His anecdote about predicting a bountiful olive harvest through astronomical observations illustrates the early practice of leveraging information for economic gain, akin to insider trading.
