To clarify here, I don’t feel like I’m significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying “facts.”

Maybe people tend to specialize because they’ve been told that’s how they should do it. The reality is there is no limit known to what the human mind can learn. I’ve found that I can do just about anything I set my mind to do.
I can do car repairs, electronics design and repair, plumbing (which I avoid if at all possible), music (guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums), painting, drawing, computer systems design and repair, basic programming (powershell and bash scripting mostly), carpentry, farming, chemistry, cooking, hunting, and math. Math was always pretty easy to me until I got into Calculus which kicked my ass initially.
When I was growing up we didn’t have the internet or cable TV so I read books all the time. I’ve read hundreds of novels, and it gave me an excellent grasp of language and a massive vocabulary. Everybody should do that too.
