<p>Dilettante- a person having a superficial interest in an art or a branch of knowledge: dabbler.</p>
<p>You’ve all been there. In a conversation with a bunch of zealous music lovers/art lovers/book afficiandos/others and wished you knew more than your basic Led Zepplin song/Michelangelo/Kafka/etc. Well, my theory is that, we’re all experts on something, and if we pool all our expertise on this thread, we can all increase our knowledge and look very smart and cultured!</p>
<p>It’d be really cool if everyone put a list of 5 (or more) “must-know” things about a certain subject. It can be Renissance artists, 80’s music, 4th grade math, whatever! The best possible outcome would be that we would all learn a few new things. The worst possible outcome, we would all learn a few new things…that are completely and utterly useless. But it would still be fun!</p>
