The Philosophy of Curiosity

The philosophy of curiosity explores the nature, origins, and implications of human curiosity, which drives individuals to seek knowledge, explore new experiences, and ask questions about the world around them. Curiosity has long been recognized as a fundamental aspect of human cognition and behavior, playing a central role in scientific inquiry, philosophical reflection, and everyday life. Here are some key aspects and theories within the philosophy of curiosity:

  1. Epistemic Curiosity: Epistemic curiosity refers to the desire for knowledge and understanding, motivating individuals to seek information, explore new ideas, and engage in intellectual pursuits. Philosophers have debated the nature of epistemic curiosity, its origins in human cognition, and its role in shaping scientific progress and cultural development.
  2. Aesthetic Curiosity: Aesthetic curiosity pertains to the exploration of beauty, art, and creativity, driving individuals to seek out new experiences, appreciate diverse forms of expression, and engage with works of literature, music, visual art, and other cultural artifacts. Aesthetic curiosity raises questions about the nature of artistic inspiration, cultural interpretation, and subjective experience.
  3. Existential Curiosity: Existential curiosity concerns the exploration of existential questions about the nature of existence, meaning, and purpose, motivating individuals to reflect on their own lives, values, and beliefs. Existential curiosity encompasses inquiries into topics such as the nature of consciousness, the search for transcendence, and the quest for personal fulfillment.
  4. Philosophical Curiosity: Philosophical curiosity involves the pursuit of philosophical inquiry, critical thinking, and self-reflection, prompting individuals to question assumptions, challenge conventional wisdom, and explore fundamental concepts such as truth, morality, justice, and reality. Philosophical curiosity underlies the practice of philosophy as a discipline and informs broader intellectual endeavors.
  5. Ethical Curiosity: Ethical curiosity concerns the exploration of ethical questions and moral dilemmas, motivating individuals to consider the consequences of their actions, empathize with others, and strive for moral growth and development. Ethical curiosity raises questions about the nature of moral values, ethical principles, and the pursuit of the good life.
  6. Cognitive Curiosity: Cognitive curiosity encompasses the exploration of cognitive processes, mental states, and psychological phenomena, driving individuals to understand how the mind works, how knowledge is acquired, and how beliefs are formed. Cognitive curiosity informs research in fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science.
  7. Cultural Curiosity: Cultural curiosity involves the exploration of diverse cultures, traditions, and worldviews, prompting individuals to learn about different societies, languages, and customs, and to appreciate the richness of human diversity. Cultural curiosity fosters intercultural understanding, global awareness, and cross-cultural communication.
  8. Metacognitive Curiosity: Metacognitive curiosity pertains to the exploration of one's own cognitive processes and learning strategies, motivating individuals to reflect on their own thinking, monitor their own understanding, and adapt their learning strategies to achieve greater intellectual growth and self-improvement.

Overall, the philosophy of curiosity explores the multifaceted nature of human curiosity and its profound influence on knowledge, creativity, personal growth, and the human condition.

If you wonder why I hug you whenever I have the chance is because I want to compensate for all the lonely nights I endured being alone in my apartment, voiceless screams I wish someone would hear, tears that end when I force myself to laugh and anxiety that keeps me up at night and forces me to sleep by morning. So I’m sorry if most of the time I won’t talk but I’ll bury my face to your chest and sleep because that’s the only time I’ll feel that I’m safe. I don’t even need to be loved, I just need to be seen.

Say this instead of ghosting

Someone you just met/were getting to know edition

1. It was nice knowing you but I don’t believe we are on the same page and I’d like to not go any further in our friendship/relationship. Thank you for giving this a try. 2. Due to nothing that you said or did but due to my own priorities in life right now, I cannot give this, whatever thing between us is, the time and attention it needs to grow. So I’d like to say thank you and goodbye. 3. Because I am going for space exploration and might get sucked into an alternate universe for about a 1000 earth-years, it’s time to bid you goodbye. 4. While it was fun spending time with you, I don’t see this leading anywhere substantial. I think it’s best to not see each other again. 5. You seem like a cool person but I don’t think our values in life align and I would like to stop all communication effective immediately or else you will be seeing a notice from my lawyers. 7. I don’t like you as much as I pretended to. I am sorry, I don’t know why I did that. You are a rockstar but some people still don’t enjoy glorious things like peanut butter. 8. Some unexpected stuff has hit me in life and I don’t have enough energy to be a whole human being. So before I become inconsiderate or insensitive in any way towards you, something you absolutely don’t deserve, I would like to end it here. 9. I was unable to set boundaries and now you’re pushing the ones I never even communicated to you. That’s definitely all on me. But it’s too much for me to deal with and I would rather just not do this with you. I’m sorry. 10. You’re awesome but two awesomes cancel each other out. Peace out! 11. This isn’t going where I would like it to. Thank you for your time but now we should go our own ways. ​

12. I’m sorry I cannot give you a reason that would satisfy you or do justice to you but I do not want to continue this thing between us.

I'm loving him the way I know, and I am thankful that he allows me to do it.

From the start, he cleared that he cannot reciprocate the emotions and attachments that I have for him. To be honest, accepting it was not easy. Its not easy to remind yourself everyday he will eventually need his match for him. Its also hard to re-learn the gift of disinterestedness, that you could love him without the urge of owning him. Its not easy to avoid turning your love into a destructive one, a possessive one.

Last week, he was diagnosed with mental health problem and he needs help. As much as possible, I help him recalibrate his thoughts and remind him on what is real and what is not. He often gets irritated with no apparent reason, gets angry easily, or gets frustrated often. My only wish is that I could gather more strength to help him get through with this endevour.

As partners to help him set the material conditions to help his Mental stability - we decided to let me watch his lifestyle mainly on sleeping patterns, meds, smoking and eating. I am also in charge in observing the wounds he earns when he scratches his legs.

I don't know if I wilk survive this pandemic so I have to take this down to make sure that for the record, I accepted my role to help him develop but only to make sure that he is better when he found his match.

I choose to not let him know. (wow)
