There's a definite drop the interest to 'know things' in my lifetime - I know it through my school curriculum. Of course, it may be because they're frontloading the knowledge to get people interested as early as possible. But it seems they try less and less.
I live in a world that delights in not knowing things - it's scary, I can't change it, and I don't think there's any hope.
I wish I knew more about Feynman earlier in my life. It's only been the past couple years that I've been reading his books and watching what lectures he did that were filmed, as well as whatever television special he'd do. He was an astounding thinker and reminds me of just how related each of the sciences and the humanities are with one another.
Also, I'm sorry I was never ever never able to understand chemistry. All of the study groups and extra labs I took never amounted to anything.
