You can develop a deep and narrow interest anytime in life, but I’ve never met anyone who developed breadth of interests and curiosities late in life. You have like one shot in your early 20s. Once you develop a narrow/deep interest or two, you can no longer go broad.

It's only because that's when you have the leisure time to indulge a wide range of interests. At our time of life the plurality of curiosity is still there but there's no damn time

Not just time. Specialization and depth seems to close off the possibility of breadth somehow.

Yes. Many poor young people never get the window of opportunity in 20s to develop their breadth instincts. They’re too bust surviving
