Your curiosity is a lever, creating everything from nothing.
Don't believe it? Listen to what neuroscientist Andrew Huberman says: "When people are curious about the answer to a question, it increases activity in the brain areas controlling dopamine release. And that dopamine release allows for better memory of the correct answr as well as better memory of events and information that preceded the answer."
In other words, you don’t need to:
Enroll in prestigious universities.
Hunt for popular teachers.
Pay for expensive courses.
Reward yourself for completing tasks.
Master memory hacks and techniques.
Take substances to stimulate focus, and so on.
It’s enough to keep doing what you find insanely interesting.
Why is it interesting? Does it even matter? A part can never fully grasp the behavior of a system. Architect and philosopher Buckminster Fuller called this synergy. After all, we’re only aware of tiny fragments of what’s happening to us. Some mysterious force pulls you forward.
By the way, synergy (Latin cooperatio, meaning “harmonized action”) is a concept in Christian theology where salvation is achieved through cooperation between divine grace and human free will.
All of a sudden you feel an inexplicable curiosity about something, and you are free to choose - to follow it, or to dismiss it as you often do.
It takes far less effort to sail with the wind than against it. Your curiosity is a breeze, capable of growing into a cyclone.
You are unstoppable when you’re aligned with a typhoon.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
