A wall of questions appears one by one: "Are prisons obsolete?", "Do we have free will?", "What would a just world look like?", "Could a machine ever understand us?", "What is a memory made of?", and more. One question keeps repeating: "what is thauma?"
You might wonder, what is thauma?
We're the last generation that learned, discovered, grew, without AI.
We still know what it feels like to follow our thauma.
Thauma (noun): the wonder that leaves you needing to understand how the world works when nothing in the present body of knowledge can explain it.
Aristotle called thauma the beginning of philosophy.
It is also the beginning of research. A timeline reads: a question, a guess, an experiment, it fails, another guess, a result.
A paper is where research ends.
We keep forgetting where it began;
thauma is what generated the breakthrough.
In a hundred years nobody will remember that feeling. A year counter runs from 1926 to 2126.
Unless the people who have it build the institutions now. Thauma is one of them.
