Busybody seems an unfortunate name to me, I don’t think it’s a particularly positive label.
I think there’s also a category difference betweeen hunter / busybody and dancer. The first suggest search strategies the second the utility of thst search. How do we know that hunters and busybodies aren’t just failed dancers?
- DigitalNoumena 2y agoThere seems to be a deliberate, implicit value judgement about "busybodies" that would explain the negative connotations: > Bassett hypothesizes that “in countries that have more structures of oppression or patriarchal forces, there may be a constraining of knowledge production that pushes people more toward this hyperfocus.”
- jorams 2y agoThe article describes the "hunters" as more focused, so I am fairly certain that statement refers to the "hunters" instead of the "busybodies".
