>On a related note, the disinterested interest thing is why I've never met a talented professional. By that, I mean the classic suit-and-tie professionals. Lawyers, doctors, accountants, bankers. I've met plenty of competent ones, but never that special one who seems to be especially knowledgeable or passionate. Alternative theory: the geniuses that go into those professions tend to be extremely successful, and so you don't end up meeting them.
