Editor's Note: By practising deep curiosity, instead of dismissing or
judging people who hold different political perspectives than you, or
who have an identity that seems to clash with your own, you can bring
a sense of genuine interest, humility, understanding and shared
humanity. I've discovered that, if you do this, you'll begin to see
improvements in your relationships with your families, spouses,
children, friends, coworkers, neighbours and strangers. You can even
use deep curiosity to improve the way you treat yourself.

Before social networks became the de-facto place for logging mundane
moments from our lives, Apples iPhone and iPod Touch incorporated a
feature that let users send footage theyd filmed directly to YouTube.
The uploads were all assigned the same generic file namesIMG_0000,
IMG_0001, IMG_0002, etc. The straight-to-YouTube button existed for
only a few years, beginning in 2009, but that stretch of time
coincided with the popularization of both iPhones and user-generated
multimedia online, prompting an explosion of self-documentation.
Millions of these early phone videos are still easily accessible on
YouTube if you know how to search for them, like digital fossils of
life a decade ago. A man shakily films a conversation with a dog
breeder (IMG_0907); a washing machine rattles dramatically (IMG_0006);
a child plays with a toy fire truck at a restaurant table (IMG_0129);
fish float serenely in an aquarium, with the reflection of a phone
visible in the glass (IMG_0116). These clips may have been uploaded to
YouTube for the benefit of a few family members, or, in some cases,
perhaps sent there accidentally. Many of them have accumulated only a
handful of views; some have never been watched at all.
