It's closely related to another truth:
Unconstrained curiosity is a vice, not virtue.
- jebarker 1y agoEspecially if you’re a cat. Seriously though, I don’t like hearing this - curiosity about all things is sort of what keeps me getting up each morning.
- bGl2YW5j 1y agoTo you maybe. People get satisfaction and purpose from different things. Unbounded curiosity can often drive tangible outcomes too. You might even have that curiosity to thank for methods and tools you use in your own persuits!
- james-bcn 1y agoSorry I don't consider this a "truth" at all. Unconstrained curiosity is a superpower. Some of the greatest people in history have had immense curiosity. Think Newton, Darwin, Feynman. In fact pretty much any great scientist is great because of their wide curiosity. It's often the crossover between things that seem unrelated where the breakthroughs lie. It's a joy to have "the pleasure of finding things out" and I pity anyone who lacks it.
