Curiosity and irreverence go together. Curiosity cannot exist without the other. Curiosity asks, "Is this true?" "Just because this has always been the way, is the best or right way of life, the best or right religion, political or economic value, morality?" To the questioner, nothing is sacred.

He is challenging, insulting, agitating, discrediting. He stirs unrest. ↗

— Saul D. Alinsky
