Curiosity is taught but it’s shown. Therefore it can be discovered

I cant remember ever seeing someone acquire it, but im curious if it's possible.

Interesting! do you remember a specific turning point, or was it an accumulation?

Part of it Mazlow’s hierarchy. When I was just trying to get a job in tech my sights were set too low. After that I’ll be honest.. idk. I hit some level of existential dread with feeling stuck about 5 or so years ago. Choice to do something about it vs languish in it I found my way to curiosity

Honestly it’s the weird topics I go in deep rabbit holes with. I know it’s not normal. To list a few recent ones: hydroponics and ultra efficient market gardening, Farcaster, ecommerce, and computational linguistics

I do find that I’ve not met other curious people who werent born with it. I’d just never given it that much thought until now

love that. thanks for sharing.

do you remember any of the first times you realized being genuinely curious about some things?

(im actually interested in what this phenomenon feels like when it emerges, since it's felt like it was always present for me)
