I reject the idea that mental capacity for knowledge is limited and you must resist curiosity or lose your knowledge. The only limiting factor is time and your ability to consume it The mind is not limited to the brain, it is a limitless expanse of awareness in another dimension You can be locked into the markets and study science, history, math, your environment, digital culture, psychology, technology, the mysteries of life and the universe. You don’t have to pick and choose. All things that exist self reference and intertwine with each other through patterns and universal fundamentals. It mainly comes down to using your spare downtime for learning instead of entertainment or brainrot or emotionally charged vacuums of energy. Training your brain at times like a lifter or sprinter, but also at times like a long distance endurance runner The key is flexibility of attention - most people tend to lean heavily toward either short form or long form attention, but if you train your ability for different types and fidelities of attention depending on what you’re learning you don’t have to necessarily chose between the accessible and the intelligent
