Curiosity is an emotion

Curiosity is an emotion. Which represents a drive to know new things. Curiosity is the fuel of science, art and all other disciplines of human study. It can transform every part of your life. Try sprinkling some extra curiosity into your life today. Quite often, the greatest insights are found in the things which are so obvious, we are blind to them.


Thought Experiment:
Walk around your living space. Choose an old personal object which you use often, something you never really focus too closely upon. A kitchen implement, toothbrush, watch. Study the object closely, like a forensic scientist. Make a note of the archeological/emotional differences between the actual object and your memory of the internal simulation of the object before you studied it.

I will later refer to this difference between an object and its mental representation as a "reality delta".

For each mind, different objects and classes of objects have different "reality deltas".
We can logically say that mind with "lower reality deltas" have minds which reflect reality more closely.
