“Interest, interesse, means to be among and in the midst of things, or to be at the center of a thing and to stay with it. But today’s interest accepts as valid only what is interesting, and interesting is the sort of thing which can freely be regarded as indifferent the next moment, and be displaced by something else, which then concerns us just as little as what went before. Many people think that they are doing something a great favor by finding it interesting. The truth is that such an opinion has already relegated the interesting thing to the ranks of what is indifferent and soon boring.”
— Martin Heidegger, What is Called Thinking?
