We are witnessing the gradual erosion of curiosity, and yet people remain inert in the face of this dire problem. Grades have outrivaled curiosity as thinkers are being raised to cease to think for the sake of wonder, only for the sake of passing. The decline of curiosity does not merely affect education or individual improvement; it alters the way people engage with power. This results in a diminishment of curiosity and dissent; people stop questioning political agendas, policies, and how politics and information are presented. Ultimately, common sense these days is not so common, since curiosity is fading under the weight of convenience.
