WELCOME TO CURIOSITY

A Home for the WONDERERS of the WORLD

Welcome to CURIOSITY, a Substack column committed to the practice of wondering.

Together, we'll learn about everything from ancient oddities to myths and legends as we answer the endless questions that capture our interest.

If you move through life with a vivid sense of appreciation and awe, examining the perplexities of the human journey and pondering this fascinating world we call home, then you've landed in the right place.

WHAT TO EXPECT

If you’re anything like me, a million questions a minute swim through your brain and you always want to know MORE about EVERYTHING. Together, we’ll explore the world’s wonders as we search for answers to our most pressing “curiosities.”

As a member of this kindhearted community, you’re encouraged to post questions, add information, suggest resources, and join the conversation with like-minded intellectuals who love a cognitive challenge.

All are welcome here. Our only request is to PLEASE BE KIND.

WHAT’S THE CATCH

No catch! We’re just thrilled you’re here. If you’d like to donate funds to support this publication, your generosity will be greatly appreciated. However, what we really value here is YOU, so we encourage you to participate regardless of your paid v. free status.

WHEN DOES THE FUN BEGIN

The official launch of CURIOSITY is set for JUNE 1, 2025. Until then, you can already jump in as an active “wonderer” by commenting about any topics you’d like to see explored here.

The sky’s the limit.

Have you ever wondered what really happens when we experience déjà vu? Or maybe you want to understand why women fall in sync with the cycles of the moon? Perhaps you’re curious about the vast amount of sensory stimuli that exists beyond the range of what humans can smell, hear, or see. Or maybe you’re interested in learning more about secret codes, forgotten languages, or, heck … the hidden meaning behind prison tattoos.

Inquiring minds never run out of questions to ask or topics to explore, and we want to hear from YOU.

HOW TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Subscribe for free to CURIOSITY and take part in the conversations. If you’d like to connect with other curious souls, please feel free to recommend CURIOSITY to your Substack circles and help us grow. We’ll be trusting the universe to bring together all the right people as we celebrate the many wonders of this beautiful (and intriguing) world.

Here's to the "wonderers." May our minds (and hearts) always remain open.

We’re so glad you’re here.
