I swear, kids are naturally wired to explore all possibilities and be different. And also, they don’t want to do the boring same thing everyone already does. It’s the reason a space colony would fail. Kids would be unable to just “leave it alone” regarding the critical systems that keep everyone alive.

I saw in a kids book the other day a bit about the crazy school principal who loved gardening, and the big punishment he would give is making kids work the garden with him. Eww, yuck, boring! Sometimes I think it’s an uphill battle for sustainability, because we have to teach people to want it. Without the education first, people naturally want to spray garbage everywhere and make others clean up their messes.

A two year old? Hah, yeah, a two year old’s brain: “hmm, these things that the train is going to hit for spectacular effect, there’s one out of it’s place, need to line them up to hit them all”.
