A "tetralemma of curiosity"? What does it mean?
It was supposed to be a truth table of sorts.
Can you be:
Curious and Incurious? False
Curious and Not Incurious? True
Not Curious and Incurious? True
Not Curious and Not Incurious? False
Meanwhile, what about Linux?
ObLinux: the dict(1) command:
$ dict incurious

Linux is an opportunity for the curious: if you want to know why
the OS acts in a certain way, it's nice to be able to refer
to the source code of the running kernel.
(Let me know if you'd like an example.)
I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think you can find the exact place(s) in the kernel source code that's responsible for a given behavior.
