Curiousaholic
by Haiko & Evan
Why are humans inherently so curious? As this question remains to be answered, Curiousaholic is a show that explores the many questions that occupy our minds. We aim to impact a change in the world and to promote critical thinking. As Curiousaholics, our passion is to address these lingering questions and to explore different perspectives. These discussions would enable us to have a deeper understanding of human nature and the world around us. As Einstein once said: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
