15 Facts To Help Us Flex Our Brain-Biceps
Have you ever wondered why humans love trivia? What makes us think trivia is cool? Why does watching game shows fill our hearts with joy?
Is it because we want to see the person holding on to the winning piece of pizza? Is it because watching someone win is a thrill like no other, even if we aren't the one being interviewed on television?
Or could it be because we're so intelligent that trivia is just our natural inclination towards learning something new? Is there some biological drive in the human species that compels us to seek out information about the world around us, especially the things that are not obvious? Perhaps there really is something magical within all of us that makes us want to learn more. Or are these reasons just a cover for the fact that most people like to show off their knowledge in front of others?
