pickAsh and I are left here wondering WHY our new books didn't come today. WHY does the tracking site still say it's "out for delivery" this late at nite?
Good news is I started this book - "Why?" -from the library last nite and now must own it! I rarely love a book enough to want to write my thoughts in it but this is one of them. WHY NOT? And I love the cover art! ? ? ?
pickEveryone in my immediate family could be described as having a quality of openness, and of remaining deeply curious about the world around us as we age, so I wasn't surprised to learn that these are genetic characteristics. Other aspects of the curious brain include the ability to think beyond and the ability to ignore the obvious. This #audiobook is fascinating and narrator Arthur Morey's dynamic warmth is pleasant on the ears.
I just learned that John Jack Horner is/was giving a talk in an Introduction to Biotechnology course. His topic is: How to Make a Glow-in-Dark Pink Unicorn. Scientists these days...
I've got about 75 minutes remaining in this #audiobook and the author has just referenced work on de-extincting the woolly mammoth, which is the topic of the next audiobook I have waiting for me in Overdrive: Woolly by Ben Mezrich. Synchronicity!
'My greatest joy is when I learn something new.' This is precisely what defines an intellectually curious person.
[That's me. 🙋🏼]
John Keats introduced the term "negative capability" to argue that the ability to tolerate and even embrace uncertainty, and the willingness to let the unknown remain mysterious, are essential qualities for poetic and literary achievement.
