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 …

Oh, I def agree it's replete with traps. But also maybe not optional to navigate - when I think of work I admire, it mostly (always?) seems to be done by people with strong self-regard. Still: independently nurturing one's own curiosity also seems like a good idea!
It was an epiphany at 19 or so to realize that ambition was not something to hide or be ashamed of. Which, somehow, was an idea I'd internalized growing up.

Avoidance of ambition is meta-self-orientation. Ambitious people look self-important. Who am I to have such ambition?
