Curiosity (feat. Perry Zurn and Dani S. Bassett)
Overthink
Is Curiosity Intrinsically Dangerous?
Danny Cevallos: It strikes me that what you're describing seems pretty neutral. But I think in a lot of cases in our daily lives, the connections that we make actually are not neutral at all and might express things like implicit bias. And so I'm thinking, for instance, about studies that have been done among young children who are asked to say what they would identify with a really dark-skinned baby doll,. For instance. That kind of connection then reveals the implicit bias in our society of anti-black racism. So I wonder what you think about cases where sort of curiosity is trading on implicit biases and or reinforcing them.
