Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.
I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.
AdeptVeritatisWhat then? The ignorance, thinking it is about other people?
some kind of orange shape@AdeptVeritatis @Strandjunker I think it's propaganda! It benefits those in power for the majority of people to be incurious and vaguely reactionary, so school beats the curiosity out of us and teaches us that better things aren't possible.
Curiosity ... 🤔
"the desire to gain knowledge or information" (wp)
1. Information options are good for curiosity.
"is the driving force behind human development" (wp)
2. We need information options.
Curiosity is to look at things, which are there. And then you decide for yourself to keep them in the role model category or in the "I don't want that" category.
But curiosity isn't teaching. You aim at yourself.
Curiosity doesn't say: "I know how to handle information options to not be stupid."
It doesn't want to be liked by the people, you sorted into the unpleasant category.
So it doesn't need to teach them, how good you are.
True curiosity is, what interests _you_.
Not what you think, other people might interest in you.
Commercials and propaganda play exactly with these triggers.
Yeah, and it reminds me on how I hated school for not letting me be how I am.
