영어 이야기
epistemic
[èpəstíːmik, -stém-]
지식의, 인식의
직업이 아니면서 그런 부류에 넣어두면 좋아하는 것이 있는데
그것은 바로 '지식인'이다.
영어가 여설프게 사용될 때에 '인테리 (아마 일본식)'이며
정확하게 사용하면 'intellectual person' 이다.
인테리라는 말이 한국에 쓰일 때에
대학 출신이 많지 않아서 대졸 (大卒) 인 사람은 거의 지식인이라고 했는데
요즈음은 지식인의 기준이 어딘지 모르겠다.
박사 학위를 받으면 지식인지지 ~
나 또한 지식인이라고 자칭 (自稱)하지만
제 삼자가 아니라면 아닐 정도의 애매한 (?) 지식인이 아닌가 싶다.
그리고 지식인을 이렇게 정의한다.
An EPISTEMIC (or an intellectual) person should not only be interested in
but also study on new field of research in recent years.
인식적 (또는 지적인) 사람은 최근에 나오는
새로운 분야에 대해 관심을 가질 뿐만아니라 연구해야 한다
게다가 하나 더하면 ~
If you are an EPISTEMIC person,
try to be a positive critical thinkers.
당신인 지식인이라면
긍정적 비판을 하는 사상가가 되로로 노력하라.

The word "epistemic" here simply refers to the kinds of things a person can know
epistemic (adj.)
"pertaining to knowledge," 1886, from Greek episteme "knowledge," especially scientific knowledge (see epistemology) + -ic.
also from 1886
Entries linking to epistemic
"theory of knowledge," 1856, coined by Scottish philosopher James F. Ferrier (1808-1864) from Greek episteme "knowledge, acquaintance with (something), skill, experience," from Ionic Greek epistasthai "know how to do, understand," literally "overstand," from epi "over, near" (see epi-) + histasthai "to stand," from PIE root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm." The scientific (as opposed to philosophical) study of the roots and paths of knowledge is epistemics (1969). Related: Epistemological; epistemologically.
“By epistemic violence, I understand the very contribution to violent societal conditions that is rooted in knowledge itself: in its formation, shape, set-up, and effectiveness. […] Epistemic violence is deeply embedded in our knowledge as well as in the ways on which we strive towards it.”

Curiosity, an innate psychological trait, is influenced by both genetic predispositions and environmental factors.
While genetics alone cannot fully explain the extent of one's curiosity, it plays a significant role in shaping individual differences. However, it is not merely a matter of nature versus nurture.

In pursuing knowledge and understanding, a burning passion drives our thirst for exploration, propelling us toward endless possibilities.
To cultivate and amplify curiosity, we must actively engage in certain practices. By asking thought-provoking questions, fostering heightened awareness, and consciously embracing our innate inquisitiveness, we unlock the potential to expand our intellectual pursuits.
We can fuel our thirst for knowledge by connecting our passions to other intriguing concepts, allowing curiosity to guide us toward profound discoveries and personal growth.

The 2 Fundamental Types of Curiosity
Perceptual and epistemic curiosity are the two fundamental types of curiosity. It is crucial to discern between them by recognizing our state of mind when curiosity strikes.
Perceptual curiosity arises from a discomforting sensation caused by unexpected or contradictory information. On the other hand, epistemic curiosity is pleasurable, fueled by the anticipation of rewards, activating the dopaminergic system in our brains. A thirst for knowledge drives this curiosity and is at the core of all scientific exploration.
While perceptual curiosity may wane as we age, epistemic curiosity remains constant. However, it can lie dormant if we are unaware of its existence or assume that we are not inherently curious. Our beliefs about ourselves profoundly influence our behaviors and how we engage with the world.
Therefore, cultivating self-discovery and self-awareness is crucial to unlocking our full potential.
Curiosity manifests itself in various ways, and the topics that pique our interest may change over time, depending on age and occupation. Each individual explores their curiosity uniquely, with different intensities and diverse focus areas. Embracing our curiosity with confidence enables us to embark on a journey of continuous growth and fulfillment in life.

Neuroplasticity Powers Curiosity
Neuroscience sheds light on the potential of our brains, showcasing their adaptability and ability to forge fresh neural pathways through the phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. One of the key drivers behind this extraordinary capacity is epigenetics, which empowers us to activate genes that facilitate the creation of new neurons. Thus, the mechanism supporting lifelong learning remains ever-present, enabling us to absorb new information whenever we desire.

The crucial factor for successful retention and integration of new knowledge is repetition, ensuring the experiences are encoded and deemed significant enough for our brain's internal filing system.
Interestingly, scientific studies employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have discovered that curiosity is vital in this process: Perceptual curiosity triggers the activation of brain regions typically associated with conflicts or primal needs, like hunger or thirst. Epistemic curiosity stimulates areas linked to the anticipation of rewards. These findings further emphasize the profound interplay between our innate curiosity and our brain's incredible capacity for growth and learning.
Feeding Our Curious Mind With Dopamine
Novelty seeking is an intriguing trait that fuels our natural curiosity to explore unfamiliar stimuli and environments. Extensive research has found evidence supporting the role of dopamine in modulating this behavior. The neurotransmitter dopamine activates neurons and stimulates specific regions that receive dopaminergic input when we encounter something novel.

Scientists have discovered that dopamine is crucial in driving our urge to explore new surroundings. It enhances the value we attribute to novel experiences, making them more enticing. Intriguingly, excessive novelty-seeking behavior, often associated with impulsivity and behavioral addictions, has been linked to abnormally high dopamine levels.
Dopamine seems more connected to what we anticipate from a reward than the reward itself. As we engage in repetitive activities that yield predictable outcomes, our brain gradually becomes accustomed to the expected reward, leading to a decrease in dopamine release. This phenomenon, known as hedonic adaptation, highlights the intricate relationship between dopamine and the anticipation of rewards.
Coaching as a Neuroplastician
We embark on self-discovery and growth when engaging in a transformative coaching process. As coaches, neuroplasticians excel at nurturing curiosity within their clients. By tapping into their inner motivations, interests, and appetite for novelty, they can ignite a process of self-discovery that leads to personal transformation.
