      as a species we are moderately dishonest about lots of things, often for understandable reasons I've been thinking that curiosity might be one of the most powerful things to try to be more honest about I don't even think people "should be more curious", that's a trap

      the problem I'm framing is: people consistently *claim* to value curiosity *if* you ask them about it. they will seldom outright say *curiosity is bad*. but in practice (and understandably so partially because of the constraints they're in) they will discourage curiosity

      we *do* know that curiosity is one of the most valuable forces that drives our species. it's never far from the core of any human progress. most good people will acknowledge this comfortably, openly. they will respect and honor successful curious minds like feynman & einstein

      yes, this is a very succinct way of putting it! and here's the thing: lots of people will think that we should try to reduce the tunnel vision. I think it might actually be more effective to drop the lip servicehttps://twitter.com/ergodicthought/status/1255757436784238592 …

      For reasons I don’t fully grok, we seem to culturally encourage a kind of tunnel vision, while paying lip service to curiosity.

      This doesn't detract from the point that some forms of curiousity are favored over others. Curiousity *is* tunnel vision- a mild form of particularized awareness. Being "curious about everything" isnt possible from an experiential frame. It's the same as unfiltered awareness.
