We're all curious. All of us.
Our curiosity emboldens us.
It teaches us to learn.
To understand. To imagine.
It’s part of our humanity.
It enables us to do things that we've never done before.
Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
For the learners, and the teachers. For the curious.
I edit as a volunteer as Victorgrigas, and this account is only for actions I take as part of my work for the Wikimedia Foundation. Although I work for the Wikimedia Foundation, contributions under this account do not necessarily represent the actions or views of the Foundation unless expressly stated otherwise. For example, edits to articles or uploads of other media are done in my individual, personal capacity unless otherwise stated.
