As I was watching my 9 month old grandson yesterday I was thinking something similar. He is learning and doing new things all day long.... His brain, his muscles. His curiosity is innate, why does this decrease as we age (for most people). Imagine what we could do if we didn't get stagnate.

Agreed! While there are many factors, I think the biggest one is the way many educational systems stifle creativity. Nobody wants to sit still in a desk for 8 hours a day. The teachers don't.....let the kids move their bodies. That IS part of it. So when the get controlled to sit still and shut up.......that dulls them into this state.
