You relentlessly curious adventurers are the most interesting humans. Glad you're here.

How much can you trust yourself? How self-reliant are you? Are you more self-reliant in the country or the city? To live without a smart phone, what adjustments would you make? In the last 27 months, what's the longest you've gone without a cell phone? What should you know how to do that you have not gotten around to learning...because it's easy for someone or something to do it for you?

Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!

The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.

What’s more important to you? What you know…or how you think?

Do you say you value how you think more than you value what you know? How much time to you set aside for thinking, developing how you think?

This week's Curiosity Bite:

If you were lost in a new city with $20, a dead cell phone battery, and people who didn't believe you or want to help you, what would you do?

Hint: No one at any store wants to help. Remember, no one believes you.

In this episode...Curious Questions asked and answered...

Would you loan your cell phone to a stranger?

How do you decide whether or not you can trust people?

How much do you rely on how you look?

Is it possible to be totally self-reliant?

What informs your intuition?
