Curiosity is the
feeling we get when we want to know more details about certain stuff. But
curiosity leads us to great things. Mankind would not have achieved the things
we have right now if no one was curious about this and that. Electricity
wouldn't have been discovered if Benjamin Franklin wasn't curious
According to Jonah
Lehrer, in the same article "Our curiosity about the world remains mostly
a mystery (According to one review of the literature, the amount of research on
curiosity peaked in the late 1940s.) Einstein would not be pleased: “I have no
special talents,” he once declared. “I am only passionately curious.”
This quote discuss
about curiosity. I agree that curiosity is important in the development of our
world. Curiosity is the central motivation. In my own perspective we people
have own curiosity that’s why we experiment and seek for our own answers.
I also read an article
entitled Curiosity: How Science Became Interested in Everything by Philip
Ball he used the term haute vulgarization as an
perfect example it is a French word
which means high class popularization.
He break down the different ideas, until he reach the 17th century
with Charles Darwin wad to famous the Origin of Species. He says that curiosity
was seen as risky and fated as such, and when pretty well anything of human
concern was fit to study. Even Karl Marx
as shocked by Charles Darwin’s materialist view of nature as isolated
survivalism in “On the Origin of Species”. Beneath Darwin’s isolated vision, however,
was a childlike sense of wonder at the mysteries of the natural world and a
delight in extracting order out of madness.
In my own
perspective it true because nowadays, almost all of the thing that we want to
know is searchable through the internet. But we should not take advantage the
internet because it our own way to choice to search it, because not all in the
internet was helpful and useful. We should responsible on what we search about
because not all curiosity is good, it our own choice to make our own decision
in every curiosity.
