“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Robert A. Heinlein
it’s called pareto crincipal. 20% of the effort brings you 80% to the finish.
I don’t wanna spend years mastering one subject, I want to understand them well enough and then combine various subjects to one big understanding. how else can you make informed decisions?!
it happens pretty often that people are surprised about something were my ADHD brain just thinks: what did you expect, that was kinda obvious.

The ability to understand the more parts in anything complicated gives you a huge advantage over someone who only sees one.
Yes, but convincing those who cannot see that big picture of the truth in that is depressingly difficult.
Don’t forget the momentary feelings of depression when you start looking into a niche thing and you get overwhelmed by a desire to consume all content and realize there is not enough time in your life to truly give it the attention it deserves. And this makes you feel like I’m a way you’re betraying the countless creators who came before you because you.
Yes.
Except sports
Yep. For some reason, I’ve never managed to even feign interest in sports. During high school, I used to participate in quizzes. The sole job of my partner was to handle the sports section. I always found it so utterly boring.
I only watch sports when my friends are having a watch party, and even then I mostly attend because there’s beer.
Current interests include pre agrarian society, forks, vinegar, and fish.
