We are curious about one another. I think we very much want to know who is on the hubski voyage with us. Who can we trust? Who will back us up? Where are we located on the planet? -- because it's a feakin' miracle that we have met one another and are talking as intimately as we do. This is a phenomenon of now.

I agree 100%, very well said.

I'm not going to do a big shout-out to all who contributed here, but I'm curious if their contributions are for the reasons I say -- not because they like talking about themselves or because of a core narcissism. I'd like you two (noway and delta) to be willing to see more complexity in these types of post which personally I LOVE!! (so thanks noway).

Just to be clear, I didn't mean to say that these kinds of posts are popular because everyone is selfish. In my short discussion with delta we seemed to be on the same page about the more philosophical concept that nobody sacrifices or gives something to someone without fulfilling or gaining something in return. Curiosity isn't, at least to me, a matter of narcissism, it's simply human nature with the simple profit of knowledge and comfort. After all, it's led us to know everything we know now, about quite literally everything.
