let's get a conversation going let's keep talking until we have nothing to talk about or everything to talk about or we can talk until such time that everything becomes the same thing is that because of a single-track mind? only having a few subjects to think and speak about ? or is it about something underlying all of reality? is it because someone is limited in their experience? are those persons who have the least experience prone to speaking about the smallest number of topics? how do we quantify whether or not someone is speaking about many topics? do they need to demonstrate a particular degree of detph in a given topic before it's considered an additional topic that they do speak about? or is it based on simply how many can be enumerated when listening to them? it seems that many would like to think that they speak about very many topics and that they have a diverse range of knowledge, including specialization in a few areas and this is probably true to a certain degree, especially with anyone who has at least some level of education or some mastery in a skillset but it would see that those who have the least to talk about might simply be only talking about the subject with which they are deeply engaged and that they are habitually more deeply engaged with whatever subject that interests them this might mean that it takes such an effort and a narrow field of inquiry in order to get to a full depth capacity of understanding and ability in that particular domain and that, at at a certain point, it becomes necessary to venture into an ancillary domain specifically because they had reached a degree of depth in the previous domain that it necessited a deeper understanding in some other, fairly separate area of undeerstanding in this regard, they might have spent more time understanding a smaller number of subjects but that they have gone deeper in those particular subjects affords them certain advantages in particular, it informs them about what subject is necessray for them to understand furthermore, it informs them as to what constitutes a deep level of understanding in a domain and lastly, it also demonstrates for them the use of a toolset, or an ever-refining process, for learning a particular domain given that it takes a short amount of tie in order for one to come to a belief tha they have a deep understajnding of a field and that most endeavours, when performed scholastically, are not out of pure pursuit and inquiry, but are rather to meet a standard specification for knowledge transfer and knwoeldge possession in that domain, it's likely that there is a spark missing from one's approach to knowledge their thirst for knowledge may be left wanting, and they might have only performed extravantantly well because of having performed the minimum required, while also having applied that minimum in the most efficient manner towards the requirements of receiving those marks that does not mean that the most high achieving academic has the deepest understanding or the most passion for the particular domain in which they are operating it's just as well that someone who has gone on pure passion towards learning everything possible in that field might have only done so in a manner which appears scattered and nonsensical and taht it might not be interfaced well with the reqiurements of a course, or something of a set duration where the work produced is scrutinized in a rather generic manner of course this is true of all things in life, but the key here is that since it is undertaken as part of a curriculum, has a time limit, and must be scrutinized generically, it's possible that some of the underachievers or those who achieve mediocre success in that course, might have done so because of particular characteristicslend themselves towards achieving a higher degree of success than is otherwise realized it might be that those particular means of learning take longer time in order to be more easily understood by others in that domain and that, for the person utilizing them, they might actually be better tools in terms of the degree to which they are learning, the rate at which they learn, and the potential for a deep understanding over a longer period of time now, this is likely the case with new domains being learned when a repertoire is small because there needs to be some interplay of different domains in order to truly be a master synthesize r and in order to discover something that is new in fact, one might say that the intuitive understanding afforded by one who goes to such levels to have a deep understanding or familiarity of something esoteric is something which exit
