Laurel-ing per se is not of great interest to me. On the other hand, I was very drawn to this:
I am someone who likes a lot of things, and whose baseline level of intellectual intensity is pretty high. But because I am someone who likes a lot of things, it's easy for me to imagine that I could be happy doing something completely different: I commit at the 65% level very fast, and at the 95% level very rarely.
Something rather like that is true of me, and I will have to tease out what it is, because you're giving me a different way of thinking about interests and commitments (and I love that). It also made me think of my niece, now 25, whom I have always described as so well-balanced in her interests and achievements that it isn't obvious how remarkable she is, compared to someone who grabs one thing and follows it.

So thanks!
