In the midst of everyday life, it often seems like there's not enough time for learning new things, taking up a new hobby, or doing something outside your comfort zone. But staying curious about new things may open up new horizons for all of us.

So to find out more about curiosity and how we can all become better at learning new things every day, Bored Panda spoke with Helen Marlo, a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst who provides psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and consultation. Helen is also a Professor of Clinical Psychology and the Department Chair at Notre Dame de Namur University.

35 'Today I Learned' Facts That Show It's Never Too Late To Learn (New Pics) TIL Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He was frustrated with the fact that he had to go and ask his coworkers what data was on their computer so he can add it to his computer which led to him creating an application that became the world wide Web.

somnifacientsawyer , ITU Pictures Report

“It helps to understand what messages we have internalized about curiosity as well as the responses received from others when we express curiosity. For example, many internalize that being curious means they “do not know something” or are not intelligent. That inhibits curiosity and its negative effects are compounded because it limits further learning,” Helen explained.

She continued: “Similarly, curiosity can diminish when others respond with judgment, criticism, rejection, or shame rather than encouragement, wonder, openness, and affirmation.”

I've read this paper, the one linked by the OP. Cig filters actually did start as a sincere attempt in the 50s/60s to filter out nasty stuff, before it was realised in the mid/late 60s that the harmful substance was actually the tobacco itself, which is when it switched to being a gimmick because smokers had started to believe due to the cig company's ads that filtered cigs were healthier and wouldn't buy unfiltered ones whether or not there was any difference. It's a crazy mess that didn't start off trying to mislead but their own advertising backfired so now it is intentional misleading.

Both of my parents were life long smokers. Dad died, when I was 8 and he was 50. He spent the last year of his life connected to an oxygen tank as his one surviving lung slowly failed. My mom left a widow at 40 with 5 kids to feed. She survived until she was 70, spent the last 6 months of her life in hospital, leg amputated, not able to speak because of her tracheotomy. She didn't know us at all, the blood poison stepped into her brain. Yay cigarettes!

Cigarettes actually did have a health benefit at one point in human history: tobacco contains nicotine. Nicotine is a pretty good insecticide. Tobacco smoke leaves a tarry residue on everything around - skin, clothes, the walls of your house, etc. That tar also contains nicotine. So, a smoker was less likely to have insects, especially mosquitoes (which are indirectly responsible, through spreading malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and other diseases, for more human deaths than almost any other cause) hanging around. However, humans have found other ways to achieve the same effect without giving ourselves lung cancer.
