THE WORLD IS CREATED BY CURIOSITY
Curiosities come in two kinds:
> The first is what we call normal — things in which we see nothing remarkable, though from the point of view of a reasonable extraterrestrial who never attended our schools, they are clearly absurd, even wild.
> The second kind consists of what falls outside our usual agreements — phenomena we tend to ignore or even persecute, though to that same extraterrestrial they might appear as breaths of freedom escaping from suffocating conventions.
Club of Curiosities
Welcome to the strangest club on Earth — the Curius Club.
A community of curious humans investigating the rare, the extraordinary, and the not-yet-understood dimensions of human potential.
The Club gathers regularly in Barcelona for live sessions, each devoted to a specific type of Curiosity — from anomalies of perception to creative breakthroughs, from joyful paradoxes to unexplored capacities of mind and body.
From time to time, traveling sessions are held in other cities and countries, while online discussions continue across the Mission Curius platforms.
Anyone can propose a topic or case by sending a brief application.
If accepted, the author will be invited to make an opening statement at one of the upcoming sessions.
Criteria for selecting curiosities:
1
A curiosity must be creative, not destructive, or joyful rather than oppressive.
2
Curiosities must involve the participation of a human being — meaning, we are not speaking of rare physical or natural phenomena that occur independently of humans, but of those in which human involvement is an essential condition for their realization.
Each year, the Club hosts a General Assembly featuring the most fascinating cases and their discoverers.
Together, they explore the frontiers of human experience through expeditions and creative experiments.
The result of the Club’s activity will form the Collection of Curiosities, continuously growing into the upcoming Encyclopedia of Curiosities — a compendium of verified exceptions to the rules... capable of changing the rules themselves.
