Curiosity evokes ‘concern’; it evokes the care one takes for what exists and could exist; a readiness to find strange and singular what surrounds us; a certain relentlessness to break up our familiarities and to regard otherwise the same things; a fervor to grasp what is happening and what passes; a casualness in regard to the traditional hierarchies of the important and the essential.
I dream of a new age of curiosity.
We have the technical means for it; the desire is there; the things to be known are infinite; the people who can employ themselves at this task exist.
Why do we suffer?
From too little: from the channels that are too narrow, skimpy, quasi-monopolistic, insufficient.
There is no point in adopting a protectionist attitude, to prevent ‘bad’ information from invading and suffocating the ‘good.’
Rather, we must multiply the paths and the possibility of comings and goings.
