People can teach themselves now. The bottleneck to learning is curiosity, not access to information. Reminds me of the famous line from Good Will Hunting: “You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”pic.twitter.com/kmgOFwyipj

What are the components of curiosity? My first try: - A vision of onesself - A mission or direction - Know enough to know where to dig - Bias to action

Weird, I had a visceral negative reaction when I read the phrase “components of curiosity.” Curiosity doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that can be decomposed (except that everything can be!)

Still, none of your bullet points seem to capture my experience of curiosity. It feels like a psychological primitive. More thought is needed

Please think! Haha Maybe "Conditions of Curiosity" is a better framing than components.
