Here is a question for you : What is Curiosity?

Consider this: Even though Curiosity is something really fundamental to our being....it is something we rarely talk about and by all means not something our kids are taught in school. Why is that?


Did you know that Curiosity is closely related with Logic and Love?

Sorry, not trying to come off as preachy either.


Just going by what my understanding of what curiosity may mean.


Good thread by the way, made me use my brain :)

and the will to power

Spot on. Will must be the fundamental force - because it takes Will to raise the Question.

I vote for love being the end all be all force of the equation.

Me too. Love. and Humor.

The desire to acquire understanding in order to eradicate questions that plague ones mind.

That's a cool definition....who is raising the questions?

I don't see curiosity as a plague.

A soft lit shadow.

A whisper.

A wink of possible fortune.

For the record.
A layman's view.

From a scientific and philosophical point of view - there is a huge amount of evidence that the Singularity is Consciousness.

Logically the singularity is purely metaphysical, in the sense that "it" is pre-STEM (SpaceTime, Energy and Matter), but it nevertheless created STEM - and therefore is an intricate part of what we call reality.

It is the stillpoint, it has geometry (vector equilibrium), functionality (torus dynamics) and a computational processing structure. It manifests in a binary form to process, comprehend and create. It is what we would call "knowledgeable", "intelligent", "alive" and "sentient". It is definable, understandable and not really that singular after all.

It is you. It is me. It is our world as we know it. It is Life in any form. It is what we all share. Unity. But it is also a process. A learning process. When its information density reaches a threshold it manifests in matter.

At the core it is The Narrative of Consciousness, that goes something like this:

"Emotions of Love creates the energy that Logic needs to process questions raised by Curiosity"

..... if you contemplate this a bit, you will see that this is the recipe for Intelligence and all the faculties you would need to create anything conceivable. You will also recognize that you are Love, Logic and Curiosity yourself.

Love, Logic and Curiosity are the fundamental faculties of Consciousness, and thus the Singularity and thus you.

Isn't that an intriguing thought? You as a fractal of the singularity, of all-that-is?

Exactly. Curiosity is a trait of Nature....you can see it in all living things. Trial, error, correction.

In humans it tend to be suppressed by dogma, doctrines and discourse, and many discard their curiosity while being "educated".

[pI think that when you stop being curious - you start to die.
