Irrepressible curiosity

I have an irrepressible curiosity about learning. How does it work? How much of it depends on the learner? The teacher? The environment?

How are learning and personality related to each other? How are learning and temperament intertwined? Are learning and character linked? If so, which one impacts the other?

This blog is a place where I explore those questions. It is not primarily as a locus for discussion. (Blog comment threads are rarely places to find wisdom or virtue.) Rather, I hope that forcing myself to express my questions and observations will improve those powers of inquiry and attentiveness – and hopefully be of value to others who are asking the same, or similar questions.
