 And this for the very beginning, by the way, this goes back to things that St. Thomas Aquinas talks about in the Summa Theologica. He talks about the difference between ciencia, the Latin word for knowledge, from which we get the modern word science, and curiositas, from which we get the modern word curiosity. Because whereas ciencia, knowledge, bona fide knowledge, knowledge in good faith is a good thing, and reason is a good thing, so being rational and approaching reality from the perspective of reason is a good thing. But curiosity, curiositas, is not necessarily a good thing. Doing something we shouldn't do to find out what it feels like is not a good thing. And for those who espouse scientism and a scientific understanding of the cosmos, they blur the distinction between ciencia and curiositas. That's certainly what Uncle Andrew does in this story.
