The child that is the most curious will grow up to be most boring person.

Why?
Since most other children of his age would be doing random and a lot of things without questioning , he would be struck in his simple world of 'why this happens' , therby limiting him to one but deep knowledge of a field.

And even if not , being curious leads to answers of little mysteries ignored by ususal ppl. Therefore, this boy with lots of knowledge will be "boring, coz he always have some right things to say".

Thus a child can either don't care and do whatever his authority wants from him without questioning, and grow into a likeable, social adult, or be curious , learn in deep and grow out to be a specially awkward person

random

    I believe the right choice is a delicate balance of both. Being curious enough but also following the rules that don’t need to be broken.

    Your thought was BS in my opinion. 🙂 There are so many points I can't agree with.

    This all is just about approach.

    If you want to be good with people - stop whining and reach out/learn it, go for it.

    The uninterested child grows to an ignorant teenager and in the end becomes a boring adult. But the curious child becomes a thoughtful teenager and finally an interesting, educated adult. And NOT vice versa.

    You lost me at boring.
    I find boring the people that don’t ask “why/how something works”

    They just conform to social expectations while your “boring” people mold and question the world as we know it.

    So to the Boring kids 💪

    So... Doing whatever the authority requires from you without questioning is right? I'm sorry, I can't share your opinion.

    It depends on the person. I need intellectual novelty, so my curiosity leads me to shallow knowledge of a broad array of subjects. I have a cousin who will learn everything about one thing obsessively. Neither of us feel limited by our curiosity, we just put it to different ends. Curiosity serves the person, not the person their curiosity.

    Social adaptation is a bit overrated, in my opinion. Yes, social awkwardness can be limiting in some ways, but it also serves the useful function of challenging social norms, which might not always be the best things to be normal. Outsiders are often the ones who get normal people to think about things they normally don't think about and help make things better for everyone over time.
