This really hits home! The part about losing that curiosity spark as you transition into adulthood is so relatable. We go from constantly asking why to just accepting things as they are. What I love about Mark Rober's approach with CrunchLabs is that he's not just teaching engineering principles, he's helping people reconnect with that childlike wonder of taking things apart and figuring out how they work. That's the stuff that makes us feel alive, not scrolling through endless feeds or following the same routin every day. Your point about the system rewarding predictability over curiosity is spot on. We're basically conditioned to stop asking questions and just follow the preset path. But those hands on projects you described sound like the perfect antidote to that numb feeling. It's cool that you're making space for that kind of play and eksploration in your life again.
Thank you for reading and for leaving such a beautiful comment. It’s so refreshing to see more people recognizing how disconnected we’ve become from our inner child. Society often conditions us to act like robots, less curious and playful when in reality, curiosity is what keeps us truly alive. We have to be intentional about nurturing and cherishing that child within us.
I love this topic! We spend our childhood waiting to grow up and when we do, we realize just how much it sucks. I think the best thing we can do as adults is simply play and be silly. Run around without a care in the world. It really is the only thing that makes us feel alive.
True! Funny enough, my nieces can’t wait to grow up and I always try to remind them to cherish and enjoy their childhood because one day they’ll miss it. It is ironic how we kind of take our childhood for granted util we’re not children anymore 😅

“But here’s the truth: curiosity is what keeps us growing. Without it, we stagnate.” This is true and deep..
you linked curiosity to kids and growth.. very impressive,
Exactly! When we stop being curious like kids we stop growing
