Culture of Curiosity: Can our innate curiosity build a culture that embraces uncertainty and encourages vulnerability to pursue consistent improvement?
Scenario
Play is the serious work of childhood and maintaining curiosity throughout life can help us utilize playfulness to solve serious challenges. By remaining curious we can investigate, challenge, and change our own restrictive systems that no longer serve us well. With curiosity we can embrace uncertainty and be vulnerable with our fears to uncover fresh insights. With a culture of healthy experimentation we can become a society that consistently works to improve itself for the benefit of all.
