I'm trying to do it right now. I just feel like I look like an idiot.

And it's really interesting that this is something that kids can tune into because I think one of the themes in the research that I was looking at is Like, kids are really good explorers. And part of that is that they're able to follow their own instinct. I mean, they have no other guidance. They don't know what they're supposed to be interested in. So they look at what interests them.

And so they are very sensitive. Kids seem to be very sensitive to this intermediate level of uncertainty. As I said, you know, eight months old or whatever. They're able to... tune into what is a fairly subtle difference in the, in the sort of predictability of patterns. And as we get older, a lot of things happen.

So I don't know whether it's like we lose that ability or we just get taught like, no, this is what you need to be doing between the hours of 10 and 12 on Tuesdays or whatever. And so we're, we're, we're following for reasons that are sometimes good. We're, we're, we're following, um,

Patterns that are laid out for us by society, and we maybe get less good at understanding what's interesting to us intrinsically. And the problem is that what's interesting to us intrinsically is the best signal we have of that intermediate level of uncertainty, of this is where we can learn about the world. But so, you know, when I...

I have this general feeling that we should, quote-unquote, try to explore more like children. It's hard to articulate what that means, but part of it, I think, is trying to tap back into that innate sensation of understanding what you find interesting or curious or inexplicable. Like, huh, why did that happen? I'd like to know.

I'd like to follow that up, as opposed to just following someone else's curriculum or following what the algorithm is suggesting to you might be interesting.

I think this is one of the great tensions of modern life. And it's one of the processes of adulthood and growing older is that we become more and more efficient. We know what we like. We know what we don't like. We know what works. We know what doesn't work. And so we converge on this ever-narrowing set of options. And there's a big... or a big literature on habits and how to form better habits.
