Thank you for this. It resonates very much, especially at this moment.
I guess I could be called a keener too, someone who is fond of learning and making things, but without the ambition to work really hard or become rich and famous with it.
Maybe I also lack the social skills, to get rich and successful, skills that you apparently have to make it all work.
I real life I more often get called a nerd or a geek, but I don't consider myself one, and I also don't like the negative connotations of those terms. A keener sounds much better. Thanks for that term!
I don't know if you are familiar with the personality typing system called the Enneagram ? It's generally considered a good to tool for personal development, because it gives you insight in your own character, pecularities and pitfalls.
There are 9 main types, and I'm a type 5 which is called "The Researcher" or "Investigator". This type wants to know/understand the world, hence you never stop learning
You might also be a 5 maybe. Of course the typology is much more fine grained than just 9 types.
There's a lot to be found online, but often you have to pay for it.
Here you can do a free test with some basic info for free:

Has a lot of info, I also have their book which I think is quite good.
