Huh. That's Interesting...

I wonder why curiosity survives so well.

There are countless reasons not to be curious.

Curiosity can waste time.
Lead to mistakes.
Complicate simple things.
Reveal answers we might have preferred not to know.

Entire cultures have invented warnings about it.

And yet people keep wondering.

Children ask questions faster than adults can answer them.

Scientists spend years pursuing possibilities that may never work.

Artists follow ideas that make no practical sense.

People continue peering around corners they have never looked behind before.

I wonder if curiosity survives because it occasionally changes the world.

Or if it survives because reality keeps rewarding attention.

Either way, humans seem strangely unwilling to stop wondering.
