    If you find you have trouble communicating with people who don’t think at your level, that means you have an opportunity to get better at communication. To bring to the forefront the things the other person cares about, rather than implying them. It’s a good skill to develop, to be able to talk to anybody, and bring things to their perspective. It’ll pay dividends throughout life, and it’ll let you have fun conversations with people at any level. You should be able to hold a conversation with a 5-year-old and a 50-year-old in the same day. And have fun doing both.

      Though there is a danger to being too persuasive, once people know you and they know there is a perspective disparity between you. They might just turn off their brains when they talk to you. I find it very annoying when those around me just rely on me to make decisions for them rather than trying to make decisions for themselves.

      People are lazy, it’s a heuristic we all use, so if you’re the expert in computers or thinking or politics or whatever, and people trust you, they’ll just go to you for advice and stop trying to think through things on their own. So there’s a balance to be struck here
