Curiosity (Hide Your Cats)
Jun. 6th, 2012 11:53 amBeen reading 'bout philosophy again, b'c that's where I go at times. Good take on the importance of curiosity and the value in paying attention to what's gone wrong as well as what's known/currently considered right: "To take an interest in [a] false belief is not to reject the truth, but only to wish to fill out our picture of the truth with as much detail as possible, and not because of some aesthetic inclination to the baroque, but rather because false theories are an important part of the puzzle that we as philosophers should be trying to complete: that of determining the range of ways people conceptualize the world around them."
Balanced with a day spent delving into thoughts, theories, and thinking, I took off early yesterday evening for a good walk over to Blue Monk because 'twas Pagan Tuesday (the weekly FREE Pagan Jug Band show from 6:30-8:30+pm). On my way, a guy ran across the street with an excited "oh, hey," then proceeded to offer me a piece of nearly-black glass so I could see the Transit of Venus. (I do so lurv Portland, where folks're happy to share their joy and whatever w/you!) Eventually I made it to the venue, snagged a table, txt'd my spot, then read for a few minutes 'til![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
