True, and agree, just my thoughts/feeling lately something is going on, and to be curious and ask why/what if is a good thing. My son was born 1988, at 4yrs old, kinda somewhat drilled it into him to always ask WHY. Maybe at the time read somewhere Einstein's "Curiosity is the Key" and it stuck. The kids always explored. At 19 rode his bicycle from Anchorage AK to Cabo Mexicio. Began with 5 riders, All returned to Anchorage in Seattle, Portland, except my son. Rule was always not excepting rides..Met National Geographic rider in SF an rode together. Heck most have hard time riding 10 miles with 2 being up hill. lol
He's river/fish guided Salmon/Snake Rivers Idaho few years, Faught fires/broke trails in AK, Ski Patrolled few winters Kayaked throughout AK, Grand Canyon few times, South America twice, Africa. , Snow Machines, Hikes/Bikes most every day. Hiking to peaks/extremes obviously has come close to falling. 3-4yrs ago began Para Gliding, AK, Utah, CO, just now returning from CA to AK home. 5-4 months almost died slamming into rock and medevaced out, 3 weeks in hospital, hip surgery, pins, plate, punctered lung, rib's, chest. Good help though, as current 3yr job is working Emergency Room, 2 floors below.. )
And as mentioned, have another relative with special gifts. Currently in Spain teaching a retreat. Professional ballet/jazz dancer at 15, owned 2 gyms, teaches yoga/pilates, having studios, 100% into health/fitess, writer, sold videos at costco, uses her hands, mind to heal, communicates, travels the world. Fwiw we did differ on politics/climate, but now coming around and communicating more.. )
Heres my son, about to kayak Seward Ak ocean inlet with buddies. They sent this to Anchorage news. Date May 7th my birthday..

Some info from the past/last night internet..
CURIOSITY that is the key to Everything May 1, 2018
The key to everything is CURIOSITY. If we do not try to figure out how everything works without ASSUMING we know everything so why bother, we just may learn something. Therein lies the seeds to the advancement of human society. Here is a passage from the Last Lion by William Manchester. It really explains what a true genius is. We wrongly assume that such a person just knows everything like an encyclopedia. The true genius is someone who challenges the prevailing school of thought and asks WHY?
“Samuel Butler defined genius as “a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds,” and it is ironic that geniuses are likeliest to be misunderstood in classrooms. Studies at the University of Chicago and the University of Minnesota have found that teachers smile on children with high IQs and frown upon those with creative minds. Intelligent but uncreative students accept conformity, never rebel, and complete their assignments with dispatch and to perfection. The creative child, on the other hand, is manipulative, imaginative, and intuitive. He is likely to harass the teacher. He is regarded as wild, naughty, silly, undependable, lacking in seriousness or even promise. His behavior is distracting; he doesn’t seem to be trying; he gives unique answers to banal questions, touching off laughter among the other children. E. Paul Tor-rance of Minnesota found that 70 percent of pupils rated high in creativ¬ity were rejected by teachers picking a special class for the intellectually gifted. The Goertzels concluded that a Stanford study of genius, under which teachers selected bright children, would have excluded Churchill, Edison, Picasso, and Mark Twain.”

This is also why A students work for C students, and B students work for the government. Critical thinking is the key to everything and it is CURIOSITY that drives the advancement of society. Sadly, the number of people who question their immediate surroundings takes place in less than 10% of the population. People who often write asking what if everyone followed Socrates, the answer is rather simple – that would never happen. It is like saying what if 100% of the people voted for Democrat/Labor or Republican/Conservative?
It is CURIOSITY that is the key to everything.
