      Right now the general mental posture I have towards things like research, analysis and sustained attention on complex, long form writing is one of fatigue and drudgery. I know it wasn't always like this, but then again I also seemed to miss an 'intellectual' phase of life.

      It might be that I'm hijacked by the general distractibility that is characteristic of modern life, and I should explore the digital minimalism / 'deep work' stuff. But that feels like a push factor, when what I want to unlock are the pull factors. It might be that I'm tired.

      Perhaps this is another part of the 'healing' journey that needs to happen after 10 years in the corporate world following another 14 in the school system. Maybe this is the first time ever that I'm really able to be intellectually self-directed and it's a little disorientating.

      yea I’d guess you’re recovering from burnout curiosity is the natural state IMO, you don’t need to particularly do anything to make it happen the rest should be obvious

      Semi-related: do you guys have thoughts on how dramatically, if at all, passing age 25 changed your intellectual curiosity/related capacities? I have a hazy idea that things slow down after then bc something something neuroplasticity; not sure if this tracks your experiences💭

      complicated, from my perspective in some ways I've never been sharper, in others im a little less fluid than I used to be. crystalization is a good way of putting it.

      Could you think of this as a distinction between raw processing power (which perhaps decreases after a certain age) vs total knowledge/competence (which increases because it stacks atop the past)? (aware we're talking in v vague terms, so perhaps meaningless)
