Polymonotropist

Someone who goes all the way down one rabbit hole at a time, across many different fields over a life. Not a generalist who skims, and not a specialist stuck in one lane. They go deep, then deep somewhere else, and they carry what they found into the next hole. Usually the person everyone rings when it's stuffed.

The sort of person who detects AI slop mentioned in a conversation 3 mouths down.

Short form: molytrope.

"The report said fatigue crack. The polymonotropist kept digging and found Scotty the welder had a big Tuesday ten years ago."
