So I came across this idea the other day,

I think it was Aristotle who put it out there,

What they care about is ecstatic understanding.

The book "The Ravenous Brain" talks about this idea,

that consciousness is obsessed with pattern.

And when we find patterns, when we connect the dots,

we experience this cognitive ecstasy, this exhilarating

They experience this cognitive ecstasy, this curiosity.

This insatiable drive to understand is on fire,

is fervor, is [? feral ?] in little kids.

Imagine the first time you look at a microscope.

You see that cosmos-- revealed for the first time--

and you all of a sudden see the cosmos of the macroscopic.

Perhaps the best line was Ross Anderson's description

of the ontological awakening provided by the Hubble Space

He said, "Through the sheer aesthetic force

into singular expressions of color and light,"

The sad part, as Sir Kenneth Robinson says,

Our educational institutions are failing us,

they're not providing the context for this curiosity

to explode, to continue to emerge indefinitely.

that allow us to stay curious, to stay alive,

to awaken the wonder junkie in all of us,

to unleash the brave, reckless gods within us all.

That is why we make [? Shots of All ?], that

is why we're here, that is what we live for.
