Think back to when you were a kid. 6, 7, 8 years old. You asked "why" constantly. Why is the sky blue? Why do we have to go to school? Why can't I do it my way? Why, why, why. And at some point, someone shut you down. "Stop asking so many questions." "Just do as you're told." "That's not how things work." "You'll understand when you're older." Except you got older. And you still don't understand. You just stopped asking. I remember the exact moment I learned that curiosity was dangerous. I was 11. Asked my teacher why we had to memorise dates instead of understanding patterns. She said, "Because that's what's on the exam. If you want to pass, you learn what I teach you." That's when I learned: Questions make you a problem. Compliance makes you successful. When did YOU stop asking why? What question did you ask that got you shut down? Drop it in the comments. Let's remember what we were curious about before we learned not to be.
