We're all inherently curious as kids, but a lot of people turn that off as they grow up. Kids are trying to take apart the conclusion their parents say, this is what's important in life. The kid says, why they're trying to say, well, they want to understand the pieces of that puzzle. So they can make their own. And if you, if, and that is this instinct, which is the heart of creativity, it's the instinct to reason from first principles. We don't use those muscles once we've had them trained out of us; we lose confidence in them.

- The advantage of a curiosity mindset
