curiosity
That’s the promise: you will live more curiously if you write. You will become a scientist, if not of the natural world than of whatever world you care about. More of that world will pop alive. You will see more when you look at it.

Being fine with periods of solitude, working alone, pushing things forward without others cheering you on...that's a superpower.
The ability to run your own race, despite what the world is doing, initially looks behind - but puts you out front.

Radical Curiosity is fueled by awe—rather than fear—of the unknown.

The job of an internet creator (a real maker, not just a two year flash in the pan) is to be the maximum amount of curious possible. My task is to be crazy interested in the world around me and report back to all of you what I find. It's the best gig in the world (for me) 😊

No one talks about the way in which the world, in all of its bewildering capability, is, at every second, offering some detail that might lead to a new way of framing, of thinking, of imagining. The delight of reading involves developing an awareness of the way so many people pay attention to this world, and to themselves.
