RE: Asimov's Ghost - Chapter 13 - The Search For Truth
I loved this one too. The air of mystery got me tingling. Will they ever find out what happened?K-Rox has a hunger to know the truth of the Great Confusion in him and Amorphia is pushing him to find out more.
why do we seek so much of this world we live in. Why do we want to know all there is about it. Once we find a thing we can't explain, we dig at it and gnaw at it until it gives up its secrets, or not. We don't know how to live well alone.
I guess we are eternally curious . . . an interesting theory I have heard about what contributed to the downfall of Neanderthal man, is that they weren't curious enough. If you look at all the artefacts and findings, you can draw a line across the bottom of Europe, where they simply stopped exploring...

@cryptogree, do you think they stopped of their own desire or something made them stop?
I think they stopped because they were happy with what they had, their frontal lobes were not as developed as ours, and so future thinking wasn't their strong point.
It is often said that humans are never happy with what they've got, perhaps this is what has pushed us so far :-)

Yes... Dissatisfaction. We want more than we need.
