The wonderful thing about this research is that learning seems to beget learning: the more you learn, the more curious you become, and the easier it becomes to learn, creating a virtuous cycle. For this reason, some researchers have shown that the best predictor of how much new material you will learn – better than your IQ – is how much you already know about a subject. From a small seed, your knowledge can quickly snowball. As Feynman once said, ‘everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough’.
