I have always appreciated Adam Savage, who was best known for his time on Mythbusters. The show highlighted Savage’s propensity for trial-and-error learning and I often enjoyed seeing the spectacular failures as much as seeing if the myth would be busted. The courage to try is what I attributed to Inquisitivism in the post The Courage to Try: Inquisitivism in Real Life about a dozen years ago. Since then I have matured in my thinking and writing to see this courage to try as part of the Learner’s Mindset which you can explore further on my website in the pages or posts:
