most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    they don’t. most people have zero curiosity and don’t want to learn.

    you’re projecting your own experience. and besides, what you want to learn is probably very tiny slice of what is out there and there are plenty of things others want to learn you don’t or think is stupid.

      This is 100% bullshit, most people enjoy learning when it’s presented in an engaging manner. Modern western education systems are not designed to facilitate learning in a natural and enjoyable way, they are designed to psychologically brutalize normal humans into a state of submission sufficient to keep them laboring quietly and profitably for the rest of their lives.

      I doubt that humanity would survive pretty long then

      humans are born with curiosity and want to learn

      and I do not think anything is stupid until I learn about it

        how old are you? you argue like a 16 year old.

        a bunch of grandiose statements that are mostly your own projects of yourself into the world.

        the irony being that your commentary in this thread prove that you are unwise and inexperienced in the world, and that young people are not wise. and you feel like your some counter-example, but all you are showing is you are a perfect example of and arrogant teenager who thinks lacks the maturity to understand the world exists outside of themselves and their experiences are incredibly limited.

        Are humans born with curiosity, or does curiosity need to be unlocked with wisdom? You’ve said both now.
