i got curious and watched it without ond too, you're right it looks like a bunch of confused people. and that is a prime example of things taken out of context because you miss a part of the picture, or video audio in this case
"Genetic modification isn't always bad." Dude, genetic modification is AWESOME! That is, it is when you have proper controls on it and you make sure you do all the proper testing to make sure your result is safe to use in its intended manner. It ain't GMOs that are bad, it's companies not caring if the GMOs they make are safe or not and releasing them either way.
and also those same companies abusing the need and ignorance of farmers in poor countries and making them dependent on their seeds and their respective agro chemical packages.
The thing that stood out the most in the entire video (for me) was when he said, "Curiosity tells me things I don't want to hear, like... genetic modification isn't always bad." It saddens me that such a bright guy's default worldview is that genetic modification is *always* bad, since, like you said, genetic modification is awesome, and we owe a lot of modern day life to it.
I wouldn't interpret it like that. Keep in mind the videos are about 3 mins long and he has to fit a lot of important info into them, so he can't have the freedom fully to explain his viewpoints on all things he considers relevant to mention, especially in this one. To me he wanted to throw it out there, for people who might be very close minded about it, that GM isn't always bad, along with other examples. Similar to when he said that "curiosity tells me I'm not gonna live forever" it's obvious that he didn't think that before LOL So yeh I'm sure he knows about the bacteria modified to produce insulin and other examples of GM working out well. However, GM is still very delicate when it comes to higher organisms, and I reckon we should always be very cautios about it, especially things we eat and or put out in ecosystems, or that could destroy the economy of already poor countries through nonsense intellectual property laws or abusive contracts they trick farmers to sign to get them in debt (monsanto).
Fuck the controls let's just make a giant agressive lion-crocodile hybrid and set it free in a highly populated city and see how many kills it can get before someone shoots it down. Then film it and upload to youtube. That would be fun to watch.
you have to dig more into the subject, it's quite delicate and the companies that have been leading the way have given it a bad rep so many scientists are (fortunately) very cautios about it now.. like cheezemonkeyeater said in another comment: "genetic modification is AWESOME! That is, it is when you have proper controls on it and you make sure you do all the proper testing to make sure your result is safe to use in its intended manner. It ain't GMOs that are bad, it's companies not caring if the GMOs they make are safe or not and releasing them either way." ..and also those same companies abusing the need and ignorance of farmers in poor countries and making them dependent on their seeds and their respective agro chemical packages.
Henry....Not door 4 describes a unique quality about you that shines through your videos and makes it compelling for me to tune in despite falling so very far from understanding what it's all about. Thankyou! 🤗
20 years ago I understood the exact thing this video talks about.... now, I'm cured. I'm like a branch on the ocean, just going where life takes me. I put no effort in, I try for nothing and I aim for nowhere. The ocean of life shows me what it wants to show me, nothing more, nothing less. I've met some amazing people, not that I wanted to meet them or tried - they just happened to be where I was, at the same time I was there. I've also met some nasty people, for the same reason. Curiosity helps you learn about the world you live in, a lack of curiosity helps you learn about yourself and others around you at the time.
@Rob Kinney, well thats not a random politician, more a guy with weird hair recently "elected"... @Johnathan Swagg, North Korea isn't really a problem. If they become, its like 3 nukes on their capital and the entire elite is gone there. Not that most of the population there would even notice, most of NK doesn't have cars, electricity etc. They just haven't the capacity to start a full world war 3. They may have maybe 2-3 nukes at some point tops... go look at the superpowers... much more problems there. On both sides a 5 year old kid with a tantrum on top.
Henry, it's such an amazing video! I'd like to say that recently, on my second year of college, I feel like my brain is going to explode, saturated with info, and I don't even watch the news... I kind of got stuck at 'I know that I know nothing'. I've always been curious to understand how things work. Instead of just accepting formulae and theories, curiosity makes me want to understand deeper what leads us to believe they're true... But sometimes I feel exhausted (like this emoji: 🤤), like it's not worth it to seek for so much knowledge and then I wish to simply do nothing or go live a simple life far away in the country side. I am curious, I want to build knowledge, but often I find myself in this dilemma of 'is it worth it?'. Maybe I'm having too many classes... Well, I'm trying to sort it out and find a way out of this dilemma and find pleasure in curiosity again.
same situation, the solution: take a break or play a game for a copule of minutes if your brain get so exhausted and trust me trust me trust me this is gold if you know a proof for that equation you will never forgot it no matter what
Curiosity leads to Science - Science opens the door - Philosophy, Art, Literature and everything else... they tell you why enter and if it's worth of it... Thank you for your divulgation works. Salutations from Italy.
Don't blame curiousity, blame greed, envy and all other factors. It's as if you fault freedom because some people kill. That's stupid, curiosity is inocent, has no intentions, the production of weapons are not directly related to it, fact is, it gave us freedom. And how we use it, defines good or bad.
While your at it, why not blame the big bang for global warming, if you are not to differenciate direct causes and indirect ones, you'll continue to fool yourself into thinking curiosity kills.
+Cibershadow2 Imo that example actually agrees with him, curiously is the thing that shows us which doors we can open but human beings are the ones who decide which path to choose.
InMaTeofDeath Oh, I thought at first he was bashing the video saying it blamed curiosity. Now I see he was agreeing with the video's stance and doubling down on it. My bad, agree wholeheartedly.
you have to dig more into the subject, it's quite delicate and the companies that have been leading the way have given it a bad rep so many scientists are (fortunately) very cautios about it now
Luisa Botero I don't think annoyance at being wrong is a natural human condition, I mean, surely being wrong can be a good thing because it provides an opportunity for further learning. Schools are the reason for people being annoyed at discovering they're wrong if they thought they were right, in my opinion. They teach you not to fail, not how to learn from that failure.
I love your animations. It feels like I'm looking inside my head when I try to figure things out or when I'm trying to simplify an explanation to someone
Totally loving these videos. I need to try physics again. When I took it in high school I was getting 4 hours of sleep a night and only passing with a high C.
"It's up to us to decide which door we want to go through", like it's somehow a collective decision to go through one possibility. The way it is and always has been is that some people will go through every door.
its really great of you to spread this nice messege in such a way. Really great. i have been subscriber to your channel from way back :-) . Thank you for all the amazing content you make.
What you've called curiosity is what philosophers have called Reason. We've always had it but from the Enlightenment it came into its own and it is of my view that it is moving towards the technological Singularity.
If we weren't human, curiosity would be the greatest thing of all time, but being human is unstable. We have emotions and sometimes we don't know how to deal with the answers we get back. This ironically causes you to ask another question, "Should we follow our human side or get out their and explore even if it hurts us?"
What worries me more than the fact that I may die some day, is curiosity will too. There are only so many doors to open. You can't have your mysteries and solve them too.
All powerful tools have the potential for both "good" and "bad". The tools themselves have no biases, we're the ones that bring that to the table. But I'm not so sure that means that we shouldn't ever use any tools. I feel like it's more about learning how to use them "properly" (without destroying ourselves, for example). So don't give up on curiosity just yet! With the right balance of understanding the tools, each other, and ourselves, we can achieve great things!
It's a matter of perspective. If I'm about to freeze to death, I'd gladly go through door #2 If Zombie moon-Nazi's who are riding mecha-pterodactyls that shoot lasers threaten to destroy the world, I wouldn't mind going through door #4 either. Sometimes going through the doors teach us alot of new things, (mostly more bad things), but then we strive to create even more doors, (therefore making even more bad things) Such things can barely be avoided, but as long as we know something is bad and refrain from doing it again, we should be good.. unless of course, it's a major fuck-up that wipes the entire planet from existence in one go. THERE, I SAID IT. CERN, DON'T GO MAKING NO ARTIFICIAL BLACK HOLES NOW, YOU HEAR?
I've worked with a lot of "practically-minded" folks who consider satisfying curiosity and seeking understanding (how stuff works) to be a waste of time (money). They are more interested in short-term productivity than long-term payoff. Then when something goes wrong, they are completely clueless on how to proceed or correct the problem, and will often just ignore it, or push it onto someone else.
I had some thoughts about curiosity couple hours ago when I was stoned...and I thought that we, humans, got so far because our curiosity got bigger than the will to survive. Our curiosity is so big, we can't control it. Even if we know it's theoretically false or not logic. It pushes us so hard, that we HAVE too explore unknown things. Just one thing is bigger. Money. The materialised form of time. But this is another story. Don't hurt me if I'm wrong. ❤
Aaaaactually wars and battles got much smaller with the passage of time. Archeologists found prehistoric war sites with evidence for hundreds of thousands of warriors. While the ancient armies counted in tens of thousands, medieval armies were regularly only a couple thousand strong. Now we count armies in battalions, which are measly around 500 each. We deal death faster and more efficiently, but on a much smaller scale.
your bigest leson is wrong. curiosity is pushing us to open the doors because we don't know whats behinde. as soon we can decide wich door we whant to go trough, we have to know whats behinde and if we know whats behinde where is the curiosety? I think on every day scale the lake of curiosety is making us better humans.Its a good thing if we dont have to ask us questions like what would happen if i symply push that button or what would happen if i throw this stone.
Njarl Black I think his point was that although curiosity is "hard to break up with" because of what good it can do for us, it had and still has bad sides to it, such as burning houses and swords and nuclear war as he mentioned.
Our curiosity unlocks a huge amount of power for us. But we need to use our conscience to make balanced decisions based on Love, Wisdom, and Justice. And like so many instruments, the conscience needs to be properly calibrated to function properly and accurately.
I think really all this showcases is that science isn't inherently good or bad, it's just a tool. You don't need to break up with curiosity (& by extension science), you just need to help promote a better relationship with it! If you focus on the worst that anything has to offer, you'll miss on some great opportunities to improve across the board.
Whenever I get somewhere, I always end of wanting to go just a little bit further. I want to see what's on the other side of every wall, even if I have to tear a few down to get there. When man stops exploring, doors start closing. I wanna pull the hinges off the wall.
Henry, could you do a video on equipartition? I would love to see you take a jab at explaining it as intuitively as you do so many other complicated physics ideas on this channel. Thank you for all your amazing content!
This is not a problem about curiosity, but about science itself. Everything technology has produced can be used both in a bad and a good way, like you said, and that's why I think scientist should think a little bit more about the bad consequences of their discoveries and how to prevent them, instead than trying to solve the problem when it's too late.

1:31 "goes against what my worldview is ... Even if it's right" made me laugh so hard haha
Let me point out an issue with this point of view : curiosity and human nature are two different things. animals have curiosity, like when penguins try to see what's going on with researchers around them. the ingenuity to transform a tool into a weapon is distinctive of humans' pursue of vital needs, as survival, food, and reproduction became power, shelter, and entertainment. In the end of the video, "curiosity only opens the doors and lays down the facts, it's up to us to decide which doors we want to go through" (something like that) - that's completely correct. but it's not a reason to break up with curiosity, as curiosity and innovation are not incompatible.
curiosity and i broke up a while back..... took off with enjoyment and hope and hasn't been back since.... now rage and contempt are the only ones that still visit me from time to time.... mostly though i just hang out with boredom.
One of the answers to the Fermi Paradox is that we haven't encountered any intelligent life because at a certain point, technological civilizations destroy themselves. I don't necessarily subscribe to that view, but it seems pertinent.
I have a superposition question. I apologize if my diction is incorrect or not percise enough. This may have already been asked and answered before, but I was unable to find any answers. So let me begin What if you had a treat on a table and a dog was staring straight at it. You then proceed to use your hand to block the dog from being able to see the treat. And kind of like with Schrödinger's cat, you place something that has a 50% chance of destroying the treat. This experiment occurs and the dog is unable to see the outcome but you can. What would the superposition of the treat be.? Would it be destroyed and not destroyed or would it also be those along with the actual outcome? Or would there be no superposition because you can see the outcome and the result is certain? Essentially, does your POV and the dogs have a different definition of the superposition of the treat or does it eliminate the superposition altogether? Once again I apologize for the diction. I am only in high school physics and I do not know much of the terminology beyond kinematics. Thanks!
It's kind of like what Richard Feynman once said: (I paraphrase) "science are like keys to heaven, but those same keys open hell, science doesn't tell use what to open or how to use, we are the ones that dictate how to use them."
Rejecting curiosity is akin to rejecting humanity. It is our most noble attribute, in some sense it's the meaning of life itself, at least for me. Even if it leads to our destruction, I want to push our understanding of this world and of consciousness as far as it reasonably can be pushed. If we stop being curious, and stop learning, what's even the point of us existing anymore?
Swords are more of a self-defense weapon. For cold steel weapons that kill, you'd rather say the spear (war) or dagger (assassination). But the sword is inefficient as a weapon of war, unless it's paired with a shield (the shield very much is a weapon of war). However, it is an easy weapon to wear at the hip as a back-up or for emergency in an ally-way.
"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." -Dr. Ian Malcolm "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." -HP Lovecraft
Yeah I suppose so but Curiosity gives us the key to open any door we so choose, and it's up to us to choose to which door to unlock and open and curiosity won't punish us what door we open, it will be us to punish ourselves.
"The same key that opens the door to heaven can open the door to hell" Richard Feynman....curiosity is JUST a good thing...it's what we do with the information gained that determines which door we go through (assuming there actually is such a thing as free will)....curiosity killed the cat but the cat died wise
Richard Feynman once wrote that he met a Buddhist monk somewhere, and the monk told Feynman, "I'm gonna tell you something you're never gonna forget: there are two doors and one key, and the key opens both doors. One door is the door to heaven, the other is the door to hell." Feynman realized, so it is with science.
i clicked on this video because curiosity made me do it
Same Goddamn Curiosity 🤔😳🙄☹️😒
I clicked your comment cause of curiosity ba dum tss
I clicked 'show more' because of curiosity.
i think he mentioned more things we should ask ourselves if we could survive from than curiosity only
Mr.Animate - Strike spherical geometry and the horizon, explained by vids on my channel.
Curiosity killed Schrödinger's cat when we tried to teleport it.
I need this on a shirt. lol
We don't know yet, we haven't opened the box. NEVER OPEN THE BOX
It didn't.
I mean, you're right, curiosity did kill Schrödinger's cat, it just also didn't.
@@brandonhamele2334 Yeah! I would buy it!
Now, now, there's nothing to be nervous about. We've made major strides since then. Major strides.
"Can we survive curiosity?"
I dunno, let's find out!
😂
If you watch this video without sound, it's just a bunch of confused people.
Kay M let's see about that
Kay M yup your right

"Genetic modification isn't always bad."
Dude, genetic modification is AWESOME! That is, it is when you have proper controls on it and you make sure you do all the proper testing to make sure your result is safe to use in its intended manner. It ain't GMOs that are bad, it's companies not caring if the GMOs they make are safe or not and releasing them either way.

Me: Yeah... So
Why do so many people wanna die in this website?
Brice because it's a meme, and it's all over the internet
Door 4 isn't "I/you die." Door 4 is "Humans lose, game over forever."
+Lakanna game over forever sounds like me dying tbh.

We've lived in an age of knowledge for so long. We now need to transition into an age of wisdom.

Are you trying to kill us?! Let's find out!
How bout every time he writes a question mark?
I love it how he paints his hands cyan/green every time he draws a night scene
that is just a filter
Imma cat If it was the negative filter then his hand would look blueish green, right?
"Genetic modification isn't always bad" how is that something you wouldn't want to know? Sounds like a good thing to me
Baran Hekimoglu exacty
Unless you're against it so strongly you ignore all evidence
you have to dig more into the subject, it's quite delicate and the companies that have been leading the way have given it a bad rep so many scientists are (fortunately) very cautios about it now..

I think we need to go through door number 4
We already have, my friend, we already have...
Maybe we go through door 1 and then 2 and then 3 and then 4?
What worries me more than the fact that I may die some day, is curiosity will too. There are only so many doors to open. You can't have your mysteries and solve them too.
Proceeds to walk through door 4
All powerful tools have the potential for both "good" and "bad". The tools themselves have no biases, we're the ones that bring that to the table. But I'm not so sure that means that we shouldn't ever use any tools. I feel like it's more about learning how to use them "properly" (without destroying ourselves, for example). So don't give up on curiosity just yet! With the right balance of understanding the tools, each other, and ourselves, we can achieve great things!
It's a matter of perspective.
If I'm about to freeze to death, I'd gladly go through door #2
If Zombie moon-Nazi's who are riding mecha-pterodactyls that shoot lasers threaten to destroy the world, I wouldn't mind going through door #4 either.
Sometimes going through the doors teach us alot of new things, (mostly more bad things), but then we strive to create even more doors, (therefore making even more bad things)
Such things can barely be avoided, but as long as we know something is bad and refrain from doing it again, we should be good.. unless of course, it's a major fuck-up that wipes the entire planet from existence in one go.
THERE, I SAID IT. CERN, DON'T GO MAKING NO ARTIFICIAL BLACK HOLES NOW, YOU HEAR?
What about ITER? First projected commercial fusion reactor to be finished in 2020?
Jeitoo I don't see how door number 4 would help unless you like a nuclear wasteland
Also, black holes the size of 2 protons can't destroy the earth. Otherwise, cosmic rays would've make black holes long ago.
I've worked with a lot of "practically-minded" folks who consider satisfying curiosity and seeking understanding (how stuff works) to be a waste of time (money). They are more interested in short-term productivity than long-term payoff. Then when something goes wrong, they are completely clueless on how to proceed or correct the problem, and will often just ignore it, or push it onto someone else.
Curiosity made me lose 3+ minutes of my life by watching this video
I need to get some housework done, but I saw the video title and I was curious...
Great video!
Henry, you are not vsauce, don't try to be vsauce. You are brilliant at what you do.
He wouldn't have to if vsauce was still being vsauce ...
maybe he is curious what it's like to be vsauce 4 or vsauce 6 or whatever isn't yet taken
I had some thoughts about curiosity couple hours ago when I was stoned...and I thought that we, humans, got so far because our curiosity got bigger than the will to survive. Our curiosity is so big, we can't control it. Even if we know it's theoretically false or not logic. It pushes us so hard, that we HAVE too explore unknown things.
Just one thing is bigger. Money. The materialised form of time. But this is another story.
Don't hurt me if I'm wrong. ❤
Is Minute Physics dying? I miss it.
Aaaaactually wars and battles got much smaller with the passage of time. Archeologists found prehistoric war sites with evidence for hundreds of thousands of warriors. While the ancient armies counted in tens of thousands, medieval armies were regularly only a couple thousand strong. Now we count armies in battalions, which are measly around 500 each. We deal death faster and more efficiently, but on a much smaller scale.
your bigest leson is wrong. curiosity is pushing us to open the doors because we don't know whats behinde. as soon we can decide wich door we whant to go trough, we have to know whats behinde and if we know whats behinde where is the curiosety? I think on every day scale the lake of curiosety is making us better humans.Its a good thing if we dont have to ask us questions like what would happen if i symply push that button or what would happen if i throw this stone.
Njarl Black I think his point was that although curiosity is "hard to break up with" because of what good it can do for us, it had and still has bad sides to it, such as burning houses and swords and nuclear war as he mentioned.
From this whole video what amazed me most was that you read deathly hallows in one sitting lol. It's a feat I probably could never manage
Trump supporters and ethically challenged folks be like: "This vid sucks, it tried to make me think about the big picture. Rude."
flyingmobias don't bring politics in the Internet especially left ones as the generational shift goes to the right
The right is mostly made up of old people. Young people are more likely to lean left.
Vaysm
The political shift is happening to the right
Since generation z (the gen after milenials )is reported to be more conservative
No, they aren't. The youngsters are very liberal.
ganondorfchampin
Well it depends at where you live but the majority is conservidies
Our curiosity unlocks a huge amount of power for us. But we need to use our conscience to make balanced decisions based on Love, Wisdom, and Justice. And like so many instruments, the conscience needs to be properly calibrated to function properly and accurately.
BS level in this video...
I think really all this showcases is that science isn't inherently good or bad, it's just a tool. You don't need to break up with curiosity (& by extension science), you just need to help promote a better relationship with it!
If you focus on the worst that anything has to offer, you'll miss on some great opportunities to improve across the board.
Oh, cool, a video that talks a lot without saying anything. Awesome. Excellent. This was certainly worth my click.
Whenever I get somewhere, I always end of wanting to go just a little bit further.
I want to see what's on the other side of every wall, even if I have to tear a few down to get there.
When man stops exploring, doors start closing. I wanna pull the hinges off the wall.
Henry, could you do a video on equipartition? I would love to see you take a jab at explaining it as intuitively as you do so many other complicated physics ideas on this channel. Thank you for all your amazing content!
I wouldn't want a life without curiosity. It keeps me alive everyday.
This is not a problem about curiosity, but about science itself. Everything technology has produced can be used both in a bad and a good way, like you said, and that's why I think scientist should think a little bit more about the bad consequences of their discoveries and how to prevent them, instead than trying to solve the problem when it's too late.
1:31 "goes against what my worldview is ... Even if it's right"
made me laugh so hard haha
ending you made is simply awesome. it's always what we choose..
I don't know why i though i was the only one who is morbidly curious, i totally understand you brother
Half of this needs to be changed with "Necessity Caused"
Let me point out an issue with this point of view : curiosity and human nature are two different things. animals have curiosity, like when penguins try to see what's going on with researchers around them. the ingenuity to transform a tool into a weapon is distinctive of humans' pursue of vital needs, as survival, food, and reproduction became power, shelter, and entertainment. In the end of the video, "curiosity only opens the doors and lays down the facts, it's up to us to decide which doors we want to go through" (something like that) - that's completely correct. but it's not a reason to break up with curiosity, as curiosity and innovation are not incompatible.
curiosity and i broke up a while back..... took off with enjoyment and hope and hasn't been back since.... now rage and contempt are the only ones that still visit me from time to time.... mostly though i just hang out with boredom.
THIS WAS SO WELL PUT AND BEAUTIFUL AND THANK YOU.
One of the answers to the Fermi Paradox is that we haven't encountered any intelligent life because at a certain point, technological civilizations destroy themselves.
I don't necessarily subscribe to that view, but it seems pertinent.
and minutephilosophy please? it's also the channel we deserve...
Holy fetch, he read HP Deathly Hallows in one sitting? This man is my idol. He's got my sub
I have a superposition question. I apologize if my diction is incorrect or not percise enough. This may have already been asked and answered before, but I was unable to find any answers.
So let me begin
What if you had a treat on a table and a dog was staring straight at it. You then proceed to use your hand to block the dog from being able to see the treat. And kind of like with Schrödinger's cat, you place something that has a 50% chance of destroying the treat. This experiment occurs and the dog is unable to see the outcome but you can. What would the superposition of the treat be.? Would it be destroyed and not destroyed or would it also be those along with the actual outcome? Or would there be no superposition because you can see the outcome and the result is certain? Essentially, does your POV and the dogs have a different definition of the superposition of the treat or does it eliminate the superposition altogether? Once again I apologize for the diction. I am only in high school physics and I do not know much of the terminology beyond kinematics. Thanks!
Curiosity got me through this whole video.
Thank you curiosity for completely wasting my time.
It's kind of like what Richard Feynman once said: (I paraphrase) "science are like keys to heaven, but those same keys open hell, science doesn't tell use what to open or how to use, we are the ones that dictate how to use them."
Rejecting curiosity is akin to rejecting humanity. It is our most noble attribute, in some sense it's the meaning of life itself, at least for me. Even if it leads to our destruction, I want to push our understanding of this world and of consciousness as far as it reasonably can be pushed. If we stop being curious, and stop learning, what's even the point of us existing anymore?
The best way to get rid of curiosity is to learn everything there is to know. If there's nothing more to learn, there's no reason to be curious.
Swords are more of a self-defense weapon. For cold steel weapons that kill, you'd rather say the spear (war) or dagger (assassination). But the sword is inefficient as a weapon of war, unless it's paired with a shield (the shield very much is a weapon of war). However, it is an easy weapon to wear at the hip as a back-up or for emergency in an ally-way.
that Einstein zoom joke was something outta this world
"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
-Dr. Ian Malcolm
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
-HP Lovecraft
1:42 to 2:30 you were mentioning all the bad things that curiosity caused and you really seemed like you empathized it
Yeah I suppose so but Curiosity gives us the key to open any door we so choose, and it's up to us to choose to which door to unlock and open and curiosity won't punish us what door we open, it will be us to punish ourselves.
"The same key that opens the door to heaven can open the door to hell"
Richard Feynman....curiosity is JUST a good thing...it's what we do with the information gained that determines which door we go through (assuming there actually is such a thing as free will)....curiosity killed the cat but the cat died wise
If the doors are random and you choose one, then one of the fire apocalypse doors is revealed, always switch doors.
As long as no one is curious enough to see if they will survive their stupidity, neither will gain a mention.
Richard Feynman once wrote that he met a Buddhist monk somewhere, and the monk told Feynman, "I'm gonna tell you something you're never gonna forget: there are two doors and one key, and the key opens both doors. One door is the door to heaven, the other is the door to hell." Feynman realized, so it is with science.
Curiosity killed the cat.
or did it ?
as non native English speaker thanks to you I know how to say well "curiosity " thanks
