Thank you.How do I learn to be as articulate as you, you have talent of accurately getting your point across and coming up with conclusions from what you observe.
My advice is simple,
Try, read/learn, conceptualize, apply.
Challenge yourself. Read what seems a bit above your knowledge level, think deeper, and apply extra steps to what you learn by adding something "original" - heck critique an expert and see where that gets you. Engage with difficult matters that seem to have a barrier to knowledge that you are not familiar with. At the end of the day, it is what you put into it that gives results, without stubbornness, and ambition you will get nowhere far. You will have to go beyond yourself to grow; humble yourself by exerting all your abilities, and then some. It's at the edge you get the improvement. You will learn 100 times more trying to grapple with reading a random science article from nature that you don't know anything about but where you want to learn the subject, it can take you forever to understand a fraction of a page.
I remember Arnold Swartchenegger said "You have to shock the muscle," many years ago. That is the same concept as the brain with anticipatory learning capacity. The mind starts to anticipate that it needs to work better so you start to improve those muscles because there is a problem that cannot be solved without better comprehensive functions. I have learned more from material that was outside my knowledge preview that I probably did not even understand after exerting effort than just reading normal comfortable material where I can put a simple checkmark on.
Reading knowledge is not enough if you want something more. You have to construct a mind that can do more. Sometimes I do an exercise with ChatGPT. I ask about something I have no knowledge about. Then, I ask, then questions, then form an original idea based on what it said trying to make my own hypothesis without reading the material deeply.
For example, here I am talking to that machine about String Theory:
Like what in the world am I talking about? I don't know anything about the subject but I wanted to test my conceptual mental skills and apply it to some form of active, engaging learning.
If you wrestle with monsters long enough you will become formidable. I promise you.
