I can think pretty quickly about things I know and understand. Also I can also speculate pretty fast based on a hunch when it’s not that important. When I don’t full understand something and/or it’s to important a topic to speculate, I fall into deep thinking, ask a lot of questions mode. I’ve noticed that some people are really quick to say things that don’t stand up to scrutiny. I am naturally skeptical when anyone offers up a seemingly smart answer to anything important without thinking about it. I’ll research anything on my own if the well-being of someone I care about hinges of a fast talking, smarty pants being correct. Sometimes I can’t arrive at a meaningful conclusion, and I have to decide to just trust a person & go along for the ride, and in these cases I learn the hell out of whatever is happening as I go along. Essentially, I think talking fast is overrated if the fast talker can’t or won’t explain their position to someone who should be able to understand the problem. There’s always a small chance I am the Luddite who just doesn’t get it, but that’s usually only true when I’m trying to learn something that truly requires experience to understand. For example, I won’t be able to understand arguments for or against Hubble’s constant being a dynamic value that changes with time because I lack the education and experience in astrophysics to understand either side of the debate. But I might be able to trust someone who could explain to me why he couldn’t understand it.
