i usually bypass the conversation and just do the words
knowledge is typically categorized in certain ways.
for example, the physical world is usually classified distinctly from abstractions
Imaginary things are usually classified as distinct from hypothetical things
sociology has its own language that’s distinct from physics
specialists have their own languages
every field of knowledge has its own distinct glossaries
and when you try to put everything together it forms a skeleton
Wikipedia is a messy example of that
your standard encyclopedia is a little more organized
when you browse through a college course guide, they are also organized nicely
but what if you took every college in the planet and wanted to organize every course that they ever had and have everything organized in such a way that you could cross reference any topic from any school in anyway they are organized?
what about the microscopic world?
can you compare that to economics?
 how do you switch contexts?
it’s easy to add flowery language
that’s why you can ask to talk in a fifth grader or a PhD level without much trouble
it can all be reduced to a set of keywords that are being linked together
then you add the pretty verbiage on top
