Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. I think a lot of what people call intelligence boils down to curiosity.

– Aaron Swartz

By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.

– Alan Watts

Notes

• Curiosity Crouches and Radar Helpers
  • Fascinating story. And the idea of a curiosity crouch, wow. Would be so cool if a device like this exists. Well many tools exist already to bring about this state of curiosity, like breathing, somatic stuff, psychedelics or anything really that brings us into flow. A tool that allows/induces a mode-shift into play/curiosity/etc. I think contemplating can also be a tool for this. Like inducing wonder is also that. The crouch maybe anything that invites us to explore by way of bringing us to say "good by" to resistance and therefore allowing the curiosity that is always they to emerge or come forth.
• your natural curiousity is your buildin spaced-repetition system
• wonder is curiosity without looking for an questions
