Have any of you experienced this in your everyday life?

Because of your routines, your job, your work culture?

That kind of mechanical, robotic thinking where you’re just going through the motions.

And over time, it drains something out of you.

Have you ever felt your curiosity shrink?
Felt yourself becoming mentally rigid?
Like something inside you is slowly switching off?

How did you deal with it?
How did you bring back that joy?
That curiosity?
That sense of wonder again?

But somewhere along the way, something shifted. I don’t know when exactly.

I don’t know how. But it feels like that intrinsic motivation, that childlike curiosity and wonder… is slowly fading.

The joy of finding things. Knowing things. Understanding things. Questioning things.

It doesn’t feel the same anymore. And I don’t want to lose this. I really don’t.

Anhedonia.

It’s when things you once found joy in no longer feel like anything. Not even sadness, just… nothing.

I think I’ve been experiencing this across almost everything. I’m not an uncurious person. I’ve always been deeply, deeply curious. That instinct to explore, question, understand, it used to come naturally.

Given that information cannot be acted upon unless you're engaged in an activity, memorization-based exams are pointless.

Static knowledge (or rather assessment of reproducing it's representation) is useless because its actual structure i.e what's relevant or not only emerges when we can use it via our senses in interaction with others and our environment.

Raw knowledge is continuous, messy, context-dependent, infinite but a concept or model is discrete, bounded, reusable, stable

So when you try to structure something, you are cutting reality into meaningful chunks without losing what matters

One thing I have realized is in the face of unlimited ever growing knowledge the skill of segmenting, structuring and packaging concepts is the hardest damn thing

Irregular Expressions

For anything, you can try to map a space of possible concerns and actions

what concerns are primary?
what actions are possible?
what actions are blocked?
what matters if this fails?
what kinds of breakdown become visible from each concern?

A thing is not best understood as an isolated object with fixed properties, but as a structured space of possible human concerns and actions.

Breakdown reveals that structure, but concern and action define it in the first place.
