Curiosity is cultivated. I found that certain YouTube channels, podcasts and books have done a lot to cultivate mine. Surely you’re joking, Mr Feynman is a book that shows you how curiosity is rewarded.
I think that curiosity comes from appreciation. A car isn’t just a car once you understand how it works. A walk in the forest isn’t the same once you learn a bit about plants or pay attention to birdsong. Once you start sketching, art galleries come to life.
One thing I did was to have a todo list for things I don’t understand. For a while, I was reading about rainbows, doppler radars, transmissions, countries, plants etc. It might have been forced curiosity, but it planted seeds for genuine curiosity.
I have also read that sketching is the art of noticing, more so than photography. Stopping to notice things is important.
