Fostering Curiosity

Curiosity plays a vital role on both a personal and societal level. Arthur Wild once said, “Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.”

Plutarch, the Greek philosopher and historian, observed, “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.”

Being curious is a powerful tool to combat social division and foster greater social cohesion. Imagine how our world could transform if we used social media and digital tools not just to share opinions, but to ask questions, explore, and deepen our understanding.

Curiosity is both a cognitive and emotional process that motivates individuals to explore, seek novel experiences, and acquire new knowledge. It’s a skill we can strengthen, like a muscle.

Types of Curiosity:

1. Perceptual Curiosity: Triggered by sensory stimuli—like vibrant colors, intriguing sounds, or unique tastes—this form of curiosity motivates individuals to investigate and make sense of their environment.

2. Epistemic Curiosity: Also known as intellectual curiosity, this drives individuals to acquire new knowledge, solve problems, and uncover the underlying principles that govern the world around them.

3. Interpersonal Curiosity: This involves a desire to understand others—their thoughts, feelings, and experiences—fostering empathy and building social connections.

4. Specific Curiosity: Arises when individuals encounter a gap in their knowledge or understanding of a particular topic, prompting them to seek information to bridge that gap.

Practical Habits to Stimulate and Train Curiosity:

• Set aside white spaces: Undistracted time to explore, learn, and seek answers to meaningful questions.

• Leverage the power of the internet and social connections: Learn from a wide variety of sources, such as TED talks or following the work of local researchers in the Philippines studying violence against vulnerable persons.

• Make time for deep thinking and exploration: Dedicate moments to ponder deeply and investigate new ideas.

• Ask questions in every conversation: Aim to ask at least three questions in every conversation to deepen your understanding.

• Follow up with more questions: When you get an answer, ask at least three further questions to dive deeper into the topic.

• Listen to understand, not to convince: Listening is perhaps the most persuasive form of conversation.

• Explore topics outside your primary field: Broaden your horizons by delving into subjects that aren’t directly related to your profession but are vital to human life.

• Immerse yourself in music and art: Explore creative expressions to stimulate your curiosity and expand your perspective.

Curiosity is both innate and cultivated. When not stimulated and exercised, it can lose its elasticity and strength.
