Weird thing about being a curious thinking type is that you always seem to be in this battle with elitism Can never decide whether it stems from some outdated culturally gleaned shame or if we really do be egotistical assholeshttps://twitter.com/TheAnnaGat/status/1125541774737444869 …

many people sadly associate intellect + curiosity with where you went to school, which is already a shallow association because we all know there are plenty of other routes to enlightenment ;) but ^ combined w/ elite institution gatekeeping yields a mess for us to clean up
reality we inherited
many super curious types throughout history + now are embedded in circles full of gatekeepers
people entangle these concepts :( we need to disentangle them..
so we can be seen for what we are: curious, open + free!
Many good points here. To add, I think a decent amount of people (usually adults) view curiosity as a privilege (not having any other pressing commitments), or even as being naive (probably a weird jealously thing bc they haven't made room for it in their own lives?)

That sounds more judgemental than I intended. Squashing things into tweets sometimes sucks

oh, no worries ;) i also agree with that & it checks out with my experience fwiw. it’s probs for slightly diff reasons but this is broadly my experience in those situations which I’ve experienced regardless of the economic circumstances of the other person:

Curiosity appears at the higher levels of Maslow's hierarchy of motivations, as needs are met. There's always room for more curiosity (look at baby humans, they are almost always curious!), but when one's environment fails to take good care of one's needs, brains can't function.
