Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover

Product Information

Ulysses, like the other souls in Dante’s Hell, suffers a punishment that he himself has fashioned during his own limited course of his relations with his Maker. In Dante’s imagination, we, not God, are responsible for our actions and for their consequences. Dante’s world is not the world of Homer, where whimsical gods play with our human destinies for their entertainment or private purpose. God, Dante believes, has given each of us certain abilities and possibilities, but also the gift of free will, which allows us to make our own choices and assume the consequences of those choices. Even the quality of the punishment itself is, according to Dante, determined by our transgression. Ulysses is condemned to burn invisibly in the forked flame because his sin, counseling others to practise fraud, is furtive, and since he has committed it through speech, through his tongue, it is in tongues of flame that he is eternally tortured. In Dante’s hell, every punishment has a reason. As Petrarch understood it, the intimate conviction of readers is that there are no individually written books: there is only one text, infinite and fragmented, through which we leaf with no concern for continuity or anachronism or bureaucratic property claims. Since I first started reading, I know that I think in quotations and that I write with what others have written, and that I can have no other ambition than to reshuffle and rearrange. I find great satisfaction in this task. And at the same time, I’m convinced that no satisfaction can be truly everlasting.

Una dintre primele expresii pe care le învățăm în copilărie este "de ce". În parte pentru că vrem să aflăm ceva despre lumea misterioasă în care am intrat fără să o dorim, în parte pentru că vrem să înțelegem cum funcționează lucrurile în această lume, și în parte pentru că simțim o nevoie ancestrală de a interacționa cu ceilalți locuitori ai acestei lumi, și după primele noastre bâlbe începem să întrebăm: "De ce?". Și nu ne oprim niciodată. În curând descoperim că această curiozitate este rar răsplătită cu răspunsuri semnificative sau satisfăcătoare, ci mai degrabă cu dorința crescândă de a pune mai multe întrebări și cu bucuria de a conversa cu alte persoane. Așa cum știe orice interogator, afirmațiile tind să izoleze; întrebările, să unească. Curiozitatea este o modalitate de a declara alianța noastră cu comunitatea umană.I am passionately keen on poetry of many types because, whether rhyming or not, most poetry employs rhythm which is something that has a subconscious appeal to human senses. For children, rhyme provides an easy introduction to poetry and I enjoy using it because children themselves love it. Mums tell me that they are asked to read the same book time and time again – and not to try to skip any spreads! At the age of three, before she could read, my son’s goddaughter knew the whole of You Can’t Take an Elephant on the Bus by heart. The rhymes children hear when very young remain with them, sometimes forever.

Why is curiosity important? is an innately human drive that can override the most important one: survival. Historically it has been seen as a vice or as a virtue, sometimes somehow in between. Today, we have too much information and curiosity needs direction and focus. Be a thinkerer. Like Benjamin Franklin do both the experimenting and the thinking and the tinkering. Psychologists have come to realize that curiosity is not a monolithic trait. George Mason University’s Todd B. Kashdan, David J. Disabato, and Fallon R. Goodman, along with linguist and educational scientist Carl Naughton, break it down into five distinct dimensions: deprivation sensitivity, joyous exploration, social curiosity, stress tolerance, and thrill seeking. They explore which dimensions lead to the best outcomes and generate particular benefits in work and life. From Curious to Competent And so on. After counting 17 "Why"-questions in a row during one session, I was exhausted and lost my patience, yelling:

It was, however, in the last chapter that I felt myself on the verge of unsettling an idea I have had shelved since my teens - that I will need to have interesting experiences to write interesting things. impossível absorver tudo deste livro, o autor é um incorrigível erudito.
