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.

WorkThe Artist Exposing the Data We Leave Online - The New Yorker (No paywall) 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.

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. Work
