It is very interesting, as I get older, to realize that what looked like "brilliance" from senior faculty members when I was young was just "hey this person has read *a lot* and is pretty good at remembering and connecting lots of interesting things about what they read"
You, too, can cultivate this brilliance if you read *a lot* and practice connecting dots
