The key to learning lies in engaging experts through conversations rather than just reading. By extensively researching online, identifying intriguing papers and researchers, and reaching out to them directly for insights, one can uncover valuable information. The approach involves admitting the lack of expertise, expressing genuine interest in the expert's work, and seeking guidance on the right questions to ask. This method, emphasizing dialogue over solitary reading, leads to fruitful discoveries and enriching interactions that enhance knowledge acquisition.
