At least that’s the dream of the polymath: your global connectivity makes it so you can love so many things at once with equal amounts of passion. Your perceived lack of focus is the new life cycle of interest. Everything happens faster and is exhausted faster. You attain a level of mastery that suits your level of desired investment, collecting serviceable levels of talent in skill as if knowledge of those skills are scout badges. If you can talk about taxidermy with fervor for two sentences longer than anyone you know, you’re living the dream.
