Still Wondering: A Defense of the Curious Life in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
About this ebook
Curiosity is the itch, wonder is the condition of the skin. Curiosity wants to be scratched. Wonder is content, for long periods, to simply remain in contact with the thing that occasions it, the unresolved question, the anomalous fact, the beauty that exceeds any available explanation. Wonder does not require resolution. It requires only presence, the specific, alert, receptive presence of a mind that has decided, for now, not to reach for the nearest answer.
We are the animal that wonders. That is not a limitation. It is the description of what makes us most fully ourselves. And in an age that has automated almost every other distinctively human capacity, wonder, the specific, vulnerable, irreplaceable experience of being genuinely not-sure and genuinely engaged, is the last territory that is entirely ours.
This book is an argument for protecting it.
