Choose to be Curious
Ep. #253: Why Curiosity Makes Us Patient, with Abby Hsiung & Alison Adcock
17 Oct 2024
I found myself thinking about the exquisite agony of a Hitchcock suspense when I came upon an article in Scientific American, "Why Curiosity Makes Us Patient." Abby Hsuing & Alison Adcock assert curiosity makes us hungry for knowledge, but not necessarily in a hurry to get it. It's a finding that runs in the face of a whole lot of curiosity theory that supposes curiosity is an urgent desire to know, now. But here is research saying: slow down -- it’s more interesting than that.
