Culture fosters curiosityEducation structures & channels curiosity
When culture is latent and education is monopolized in its access and crystallized by a caste Nomenklaturacuriosity wanes awayThe only innovation is marked by the cooptation of classes of Apparaticks & their self-reproduction as part of the Nomenklatura
Latent culture +Nomenklatura oriented education =stifling curiosity =Zero or little innovation
Absolute need, through empirics, of curiositysurfaces where there is a starving hunger for ideas and economic improvement of self, where the undetected of today and the unexpected of tomorrow are motors of venture and adventure that will create wealth and in the process defy Nomeklatura and challenge the Apparatick
Where the dream becomes reality is where there is a fertile environment
