Genuine curiosity is rare.

A thread 🧵

While everyone else is shouting their opinions - and shouting down each other’s - curiosity is the willingness to be quiet, to be still, to do nothing and to learn.

Curiosity is a choice. It's a choice to listen more than we speak. To crave understanding more than victory. To get OK with the discomfort of not having all the answers.

True growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones. When we look for ideas that challenge us. When we're willing to be wrong.


Had just asked myself the other day what is really behind it all and why the "providers" want engagement on top of anything else...

Social media, in its current form, isn't designed for curiosity. It's designed for engagement, often reinforcing what we already believe.


I think it's something we can learn from kids. They are naturally curious learning machines. 

A little bit of asking "why" and questioning the status quo goes a long way in curating a collection of the most random knowledge - and you never know, eventually the dots connect.

100% willingness to be wrong..
