Curiosity is universal at birth but fragile afterward, and its rarest, most valuable form, the ability to connect unrelated ideas, depends on unhurried time.
"Not encouragement first. Not resources first. Time. Space to stay unresolved in. And that is exactly the resource now being quietly withdrawn."
The danger of AI is that it narrows curiosity by distraction and removes the time a mind needs to hold two unrelated things open without which it will never have the chance to develop insight.
