Mmmm, thought provoking. Maybe spirituality is the driving force behind our 'need to know'? More of a 'spiritual revolution'.
However, it could be either and it seems we have more evidence for the 'survival' concept.

I think it's the latter. I think we have two selves, ego, and real self, and the real self wants to have more prominence in our lives so it leads us down paths that will make us pay it more attention.

This is in line with my belief of unconsciousness coming to consciousness. I think your term ego is representative of the 'unconsciousness'.
I personally don't think of us as having two selves. I think we have one whole self that we are not fully aware of. Looks exactly the same though. regards
