Education as Civilization-Building

I love the idea of education as something people do because they love to learn and to think and I think it’s important that it exists. At the same time, we can’t expect everyone to want to do that.

Why do some kids want to learn and others don't? Why do some kids have infinite curiosity about the world and want to figure out how it works? Perhaps we should focus on figuring out how to encourage this curiosity in humans.

A newborn seems to be incredibly curious about the world. With age, this curiosity seems to fade, for some more so than others. If we can prevent curiosity from fading, people would be excited about learning.

Ah yes, let's force a government mandated culture on people. Can't imagine anything going wrong with that.

None of what the OP said indicated anything of the sort.
