curiosity killed the cat

much to their parents dismay, between the ages of 2 and 5, kids ask, on average, 40000 questions.

but life has a way of breaking its promises to children and
teachers have to make sure kids know answers, not questions.

curiosity is an integral part of the human experience, yet the older we get, the more answers we’re expected to have. why?

well, the reason is comically simple…

not knowing is associated with lack of intelligence. the pretense is tiresome, but apparently necessary.

it also explains the rise in the amount of people suffering from the impostor’s syndrome.
the irony is, of course, that you can’t be an impostor in your own life.

I wish that you have nothing but questions about the world around you.

today is day 175 of the year, there are 190 days remaining of 2022.
