In his TED Talk, Scott Shigeoka highlights the transformative power of curiosity in building connections and overcoming divides. Through personal stories, such as his experiences with auditory hallucinations and a cross-country road trip, he demonstrates how genuine curiosity—especially towards those with differing perspectives—can dismantle biases and uncover our shared humanity. Shigeoka's central message is that nurturing curiosity is more than just an intellectual pursuit; it’s a profound act of love that fosters understanding and connection in our increasingly divided world.
