If each truth is connected to many other truths, you can expect people frequently underestimate the value of knowing many or varied truths… But this does not guarantee that using your marginal effort on acquiring more knowledge will get you, personally, anywhere near a catalytic threshold of understanding. Especially if you’re not even asking the right questions.
