Maslow would probably call that "self-actualization".
The desire to understand is quite different from the desire to be clever, at least as I understand these words.
What kind of things do you want to create?
I think that ability to understand is a part of being clever. So is knowing a lot of things, and being able to come up with unusual ideas, and being able to focus on a task for a long time, and ability to achieve goals, and many other things.
I want to create a startup.
And I also want to write awesome fiction(Rationalist sci-fi comedy. Something like Rick and Morty meets HPMOR).
