Do find it important to know little about ever topic?

[Anonymous]

For instance I hate anything that has to do with foreign affairs functions or soccer but would likely fall asleep quickly if I were to watch long videos about it. I like love novels, ancient history and child psychology mainly; not politics. So what I either watch quick, short videos or just read about the main idea.

This is just to have basic topics in a conversation in case the topic comes up, even if I hate the subject. What do you? Do you find it important to know something about everything?

I believe having a little knowledge about a variety of topics can be beneficial for engaging in diverse conversations and expanding your horizons. Understanding different subjects can help foster connections with others and enhance our perspectives. However, it's essential to focus on what genuinely interests you, as passion drives deeper learning. As for me, art, movies, and cultural experiences are my main interests, and I enjoy sharing and discussing these topics. Dive into what you love, and let curiosity guide you to other fascinating areas! 🎨📚

Nope. 13th century French poetry I know nothing about. Performing a heart transfer on a horse and I wouldn’t understand it. There are countless topics I wouldn’t be knowledgeable about but I can still have a conversation about them because I’d start by listening and then either asking questions or sharing something related.

Charlie Munger used to do this.
