Quote by: isherwood Do we yearn to discover for its own sake or to better survive? Couldn't a desire to survive drive our desire to explore and discover? |
I would rather die then be alive, but unable to gain information in any form. Be unable learn anything.
I survive just to learn. If I'm dead, I at least don't feel upset about not being able to learn.
But you are right, discovery is the reason why we have been able to survive, and I don't think that is an accident. I just think that the reason we have survived and evolved so much is simply because discovery has been at the forefront of what we do.
