Passions are underrated.
Something extra, frivolous, appropriate only after your serious work is done.
Let’s flip it. Passions first, “education” second.
"The thing about Darwin is how un-special he was.
He was a normal kid, [but] he had a passion...naturalism.
He was terrible at school...
...through his passion, he encountered unique ideas."
~Conjecture Institute Fellow Eric Denton w/ Ambassador @ToKTeacher
“That’s great for geniuses like Darwin and Einstein, but what about regular ppl.”
Passions make geniuses (or, reveal them.)
Even if you’re not exemplary - so what? Passionate living is still better for everyone.
