I'm the second type, but I extended it to literally every relevant piece of knowledge in my life. So now I'm trying to fix my entirely rotten foundation from school.
Shockingly, it's actually going pretty well. Turns out the human brain gets better at handling information the more diverse high quality info you provide. Deep diving into niche topics seems worse than just getting a robust foundation and then generalizing.
Having a good thought framework also seems to matter a lot, once I worked out how to think critically in a proper that sped a lot of learning up. Now I don't have to really think twice about most miscellanous things, they're all actually really similar. Humans are not as diverse as we think lol.
