Mike Rowe in a recent podcast episode [2:06:25] with Tim Ferris offered an intriguing perspective on curiosity and genius. Rowe comments:

"What are the real fundamentals that drive education and ultimately prosperity, however you choose to define it? It's hard to get more granular than curiosity. Your either curious or your not. Real geniuses that i've stumbled across are people that can inspire curiosity. It's not about imparting knowledge, it's about flicking the switch".
