      One for free. Your curiosity increases with the range of possible actions available to you. This explains 19 & 20.

      21. There's a proverb that useful trees are chopped down for wood, while knotted trees are left to grow big and live out their days. Maybe curiosity is a way to cultivate this kind of robust uselessness.

      22. Two kinds of curiosity: "How do I X?" and "What happens if I Y?"

      23. Ideally interfaces would harness users' curiosity, not just confirm their expectations.

      24. Since curiosity is all about following trails, you can cover the same ground over and over again in different directions.

      25. How can curiosity survive experience? Through nuance.

      26. There's a danger of using curiosity as a stick to beat people with. "Why doesn't she appreciate my work? She must lack curiosity."

      27. I think there's a lot of scope for gravitational slingshot moves in curiosity - using an extreme point as a lever to reach somewhere else.

      Images are usually more effective at provoking curiosity than numbers.https://twitter.com/chenoehart/status/1206055271711301632?s=19 …

      29. Straining to innovate kills curiosity. I don't know why.

      Replying to @stubborncurias

      I speculate natural curiosity would be driven by the SEEKING and PLAY emotional systems (Panksepp). FEAR inhibits PLAY. I'm guessing there are all kinds of derived emotions and higher cognitive functions that integrate with FEAR in people.
