1. I don’t think there’s a direct correlation between curiosity and finding school interesting. I’m endlessly curious about how the world works and always reading three books at a time, and school was often dull as paint.

2. I would optimize hiring people who display the kind of curiosity described, but if my goal was to create an education system to generate educated workers to grow an economy, I wouldn’t optimize for it. I don’t think curiosity is a privilege, it’s an undervalued right.
