Simultaneously striving for intellectual humility & creative audacity is hard, but I've noticed that people who are genuinely curious about *everything* don't seem to have to swim upstream to get there.https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/965443482390224896 …
Nice - curiosity as a common causal factor to give you both! Must admit, personally I find humility + audacity sometimes in tension. Perhaps I should nurture simple curiosity more.

I should, too. I think ego/self-narrative stuff is a pretty typical obstacle. I think there are probably a few paths around that, e.g. practicing mindfulness socially or adopting a really strong "this is play!" lens in conversation.

Ego/self stuff can help in both phases, especially the second. I'm not sure it's entirely possible to do without, especially for very ambitious work. Still, I bet a strong curiosity and "this is play" lens lessens the tension a lot!
