Oddbean new post about login | logout How do you define "curious around them"? Admiring the beauty of nature, politics, sentiment of society, the life of your friends and kids, and their struggles? Not quite sure what you mean. I think most people are aware of their surroundings. But in a very specific niche I suppose.
I mean continually asking questions about why things around them are happening, why the world works as it does, why nature works as it does etc…
Not a lot, that’s for sure. Most people seem to enjoy small talk. https://image.nostr.build/7d3ffd90c9a94658c0af2e67b2cb66d8abb3ee76196e32abcb702c2d4d924ff3.jpg
In that case, I go for well under 20%. In my own circle, my tiny bubble, 3 of us ask these questions every day. Three out of ~120 people in my bubble. Most people don't care. They don't have the interest or the time. They choose safety over freedom. The security of a life in ignorance instead of a liberated life with responsibility.
