That's the thing that I found dumbfounding: These aren't incurious people. These are clever, capable, curious people. (lack of curiosity occurs in far too many people of all ages around me) It's just that they deal with their curiosity differently: They seek an answer, and are content with whatever level is currently available, and move on to other matters, while I revel in the uncertainty. Can't say one is better, though I'm obviously more comfortable with my version. Will say they feel very different, and I end up feeling alone in the crowd. Related: One coworker at my previous job noted that we enjoyed our high school interns more than than college interns because the high schoolers hadn't had their sense of wonder and curiosity beaten out of them. I'm still evaluating if I think that's true.
