Meta-everything
Jun. 28th, 2010 06:39 pmA comment on Hacker News really resonated with me.
"How can people walk around not giving a f--- about how things actually work? I really just can't comprehend that lack of thirst for knowledge."
This.
That.
Yes, I know that I will never know everything. And yes, I have particular interests and sometimes I grow bored with a particular area. But whenever I am awake, I am looking at how things are and how things can be, whys and wherefores and possibilities. How can there be any other state of consciousness? It's bizarre to hear someone say "I don't want to know" in any other context than "joking" or "busy".
