It’s incredibly easy to dive in, to be narrow-minded, to become subjective and, although you feel smart, you’re really ill-informed about a subject.
In this age of infinite information, we’re tricked into reading all there is on a subject and then calling ourselves experts.
When, truly, that subject is related to so many others, which also have millions of words, photos and videos about them.
The beer industry isn’t just about the beer industry, it’s about agriculture, oil prices, and, would you believe it or not: tacos.
The custard industry isn’t just about the mouth-watering delicacy of iced dairy, it’s about chickens, genetics, and extremely unpredictable ethical (or unethical) decision-making that happens from people half way across the world where their culture is different from yours.
The trucking industry isn’t just about getting something from point A to point B, it’s about the coal miners who fear layoffs, the city that has contaminated water and is receiving no help from the government, and it’s about the black market targeting semi-trucks instead of trains.
The best way to get smart and see the big picture is, as Seth Puts it, read more blogs.

There’s no excuse for not understanding the big picture.
